Title: problem number 3
Post by: VR6_ROB on 17 February 2005, 19:12

ok i just been outside to go for petrol
and i started it and its chuggin exhaust is poppin again
so i drove down road a bit n it chugged then went normal for a second then chugged again

is it firing on all 4?

have you changed the dizzy and the roter arm? (cheap to do)

Put a plug in each lead and then earth the plug. that'll verify the spark is working and the leads aren't faulty. careful not to shock yourself though!

when was the last time you changed the fuel filter or put some injector cleaner through? could be a block, but after a while it blows through. then blocks again when it's not running for a long time.

just some ideas.
