Problems had wiv mine are that car wud start perfect,get warm to about 78c n cut out if left for few mins wud start straight away, if tried to start after it cut out wud sound like it was starving ov fuel or misfiring badly n cut out,cuts out under load wen accelerating or jus drivin normally no matter what revs car will lose power n die,somedays car will run fine.somedays tho wud feel like was hesitating wen tryin to boot it or wud feel like it is holding back.tried most ov things ave mentioned gonna change coil,n crank sensor next few days see what happens.
