« on: 17 November 2011, 19:12 »
Hi guys having the usal problems with my mk3 dodgey idling and cutting out
Got the car back in august cheap never run right when I first got it it would
Cut out whilst going along oil light wud come on and then wudnt start for a while
Got it plugged in turns out the sensor in the distrubutor was faulty so replaced the whole unit
Also replaced Ht leads,spark plugs,coolant sensor,fuel filter,air filter,car idles at 1000rpm
And drops down and back up whilst doing that it sounds like its back firing and a bit smokey too  when going
Along now if u come too a stop quickly it cuts out replaced throttle body no joy any advice
Wud be fantastic as stumped  :sad:
