Im desperate, need advice from you tech guys!
« on: 22 May 2006, 18:10 »
I know there a whole bunch of posts on here relating to this and im sorry for starting another one :embarassed:

Mk3 16v It runs like a bag of sh!te, It has this crazy misfire which sometimes makes the engine cut out but it has a strong spark to every plug and I have cleaned up all electrical connections.

Also it seems as though it is dumping unburnt petrol out of the exhaust.

Relays seem fine,

Ive cleaned the throttle body out and all the breather pipes so what to try next guys?
Thanks
