Title: Missy engine?
Post by: daveydub on 29 June 2005, 01:42

Hi All,
Well I've posted in the welcome section a while ago, so to cut a long story short I have a MK1 Cab GTI,.......but I have an ickle problem....  Ive changed the oil+filter/plugs/air filter/fuel filter.........but when I throttle on full its a bit missy....It's fine after a couple of seconds but under load it still seems to misfire?  not sure what it could be....cant seem to get the points out from under the dizzy, is there a knack in removing them?
Anyway if anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated?
Cheers,
DAVE

Beeing a 91, I would assume its a digifant 2H motor. But 91 MK1 Cab GTI doesn't really exist. Anyway....

If its indeed a Digifant motor, there are many things that could be wrong with it. From O2 sensor to the blue CTS or even the timing could be incorrect.

Mmmmm....well its a Sportline if that makes any difference on the year.....but my wallet will confirm its existence, believe me!
OK I have to go look up what you mentioned as new to the Golf scene. But cheers for the advice. I'll let you know how I'm getting on!

Daveydub, as it's a mk1 it will be a K-jet, I don't think any mk1s (including late cabs) had digi and a sportline is deffo a GTI.
