Hi peeps
My usually good as gold 20vt is suffering from a intamitent fault.
Here's what we've done so far. Please note all was fine before the engine came out.
So engine out smoothed the bay, engine back in n apart from un plugging/ bolting bits the engine didn't get touched. The only thing changed was battery in boot n top fill rad. Didn't have time to do engine loom.
So now since this was done for ultimate dubs a problem has occurred. It seems like its a fueling issue. It starts n ticks over fine but as soon as you put you foot down it splutters, struggles to rev n then cuts out. Fuel can be smelt.
Because the only thing changed was the coolant system we started there. Now we removed the thermostat n all worked well but once the car sat at 70 on the dual carriage way it cooled down to much n the problem started again. Now we think it's the cold start valve or sensor( not sure but something along those lines). The thermostat is rated at 117c so I've got a 87c to try n c if that will help.
The reason I've asked on here tho is that on the way back from stoner park the problem occurred again but after turning it off n on a couple of times it seemed to clear itself. Then we hit a bump n it started again. This has bump issue has happened before.
It's now really puzzling me as could it be electrical. I may not have explained myself but if any one has some answers get in touch.
Cheers
Nathan
