16v running like CRAP

Check the static marks, then connect up a strobe timing gun, point at the pulley to see what the ignition timing is, adjust the distributor if necessary.

If you want to know how to test the hall sender and air flow meter, buy a bentley manual. My mates got one for mk2, but i didn't have enough time to post it all.

I have just found out that when the car is running like sh!t if i turn it off for about 5 mins and then start it back up it runs ok. Has anyone come across this before.

Have you checked your fuel filters?

[Lee]

No i cant be arsed to check them im far to lazy i think i will just set fire to the f**king thing, anyone want to buy a recaro electric trim and a set of bbs rims, only joking, not

[Gambit]

Lee, i was told the hall sender is more likley to  fail when warm, so maybe allowing it to cool for 5 mins sorts it out. on my old one the wires had become very brittle

my whole replacment dizzy cost ?78 and im hoping this will clear all my problems. its away getting the timing checked & set this morning.

so ill give you a bit more info tomorrow hopefully.

[Lee]

ok mate

Gambit,

I'd really like to know how you get on once you've fitted the hall sender ,as i think i've basically got the same problem see "kangaroo golf" post

[Gambit]

well i got it back yesterday and its running fine so far, had it out last night for a good bit, no hestitaitons whatsoever.

here's hoping

how easy was it to replace the hall sender?
