erratic revs then cutting out whilst driving. Video attached.
« on: 21 October 2011, 09:20 »
On my way to work this morning I had a real battle with the car, cut out over 5 times after erratic reving. It made the car undrivable. I know I shouldnt of really took a video but it can say more than I can. It was a private road  :lipsrsealed:

Its the first 5 seconds of the video that you can see the revs acting this way.
My thoughts are coil pack?
Yours?
Thanks.

crank/cam sensor to me at least.  Worth checking the crank (below the oil filter) for broken wiring.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.
