Engine keeps dying
« on: 24 January 2009, 20:42 »
Hi people, I dont know if its the cold weather but its only happend since the car had a new clutch, i could be going down the road "singing to my self tra la la" and then i have to stop, clutch in then for no reason (sometimes) the engine cuts out. I have watched the revs drop like a stone and be ok but all of a sudden its being wierd, Could it be the throttle doo daa needing a tweek??


Cheers fellows.


By the way car is being kitted, leather seats came yesterday and in the process of respray and then hopfully by saturday new suspention and oil n timing belt yay :laugh:
