blondie 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Quite annoying and I've had suggested to me it mite b the coil pack, but thought Id ask.In first gear, she bogs down and loses all power. I have to rev to 1.5-2 and dump the clutch otherwise, it tries to stall and is generally poo. I can pull off in a low gear but only if I stamp on my accelerator. Not only does it do it n 1st but 2nd and 3rd aswell. Doesnt sound like its running rite either.Suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites

Scharged$ix 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 i would bet my money on air flow meter or leads. mine did this, and i replaced both along with spark plugs and was fine. id go for air flow meter first tho. or get diagnostics done Link to post Share on other sites
