AGU engine Help plz
« on: 22 April 2012, 15:40 »
Nice yesterday my agu has been holding bak and then going then it will cut out but start after a few seconds. I plug it into snap on machine and all it said was temp sensor and battery had died. I've changed spark plugs and rocker gasket cause there was bit of oil round spark plug. And now had second hand coil paks. But still hesitating. And wen u foot it to the floor it's like a kangaroo. Only thing is I did run it really low on petrol last white notch past red. Plz plz any help

Dont like the sound of second hand coils! Would have thought you would have a misfire code if that was the cause.

Change temp sender, easy and cheap.

I would usually say boost/vac leaks, but you would have thought you would log a code, can you pressure test it?

being an AGU my gut says ignition amp, but a dying fuel pump can cause similar behaviour.
