Title: Running on three cylinders
Post by: Lee Watson on 05 April 2005, 11:00

I have a MK2 golf GTI 16v 1990 over the last few months I have noticed that there has been an intermitted problem, where I slow down in traffic, the revs drop by about 250RPM and it sounds like its only firing on three cylinders.

Just over two weeks ago I changed the HT leads thinking that is the problem but it has now started to do the same thing but at higher revs and I have found that if I pull over and turn the engine off for a few seconds and start again the problem as gone.

Any Ideas?
