no fault codes but cutting out-boring, do not read
« on: 09 February 2011, 19:33 »
i know this is well talked about and most people are probably bored of it but my 8 valve been misfiring then cutting out. cleared the codes that were showing and have been driving around but now not getting any codes. would of thought a problem would have shown up or is this not always the case?

Fault codes don't always come up Mate. Try doing a search and you will find plenty of answers but try cleaning your Throttle Body first  :wink: :wink:

 It cutting out while driving? Especially when warm? For me it was the crank sensor! And no fault codes showed up.. When I took it out it fell apart in my hand, check my build thread and there is a pic of it...
