Title: 800 - 2000 revs, runs like crap, fine after
Post by: markswan on 24 November 2009, 15:34

reet issue with my 8v,

when i accelerate slowly theres no issue, but if i try to put foot down, it gets boggy and misfires/splutters, but it doesnt do it every time. Was running fine, filled up with fuel and its started running dodgy, shoved in some red ex which has helped a little but not a lot..

any ideas that i can try..

Or that bloody relay that likes to f*ck up and cause horrible lumpy running at low revs.
