Apathy 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Been finding this site a great help for a while now but can usually find the answer on here after a bit searching but this ones got me stuck, so time to sign up, say hello and make my first post.Well the problem is this my car has been cutting out every now and then for a while then last Saturday it cut out and now it won't stop doing it !!! All i can tell you is the engine starts fine idles fine (if a little ruff) revs fine but as soon as i put it under load there is no power and it stalls. I can hear the fuel hissing through the pressure regulator so don't think its a fuel problem. If i unplug the maf the revs change (which i presume is emergency mode on ecu) so think thats working had a look in the Tbody wasn't to bad in there either any help or suggestions would be very appreciated thanks martin Link to post Share on other sites

Apathy 0 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Well I've got a mate who's into racin in a big way hookin it up to a diagnostic on monday. Already ordered some new plugs so didn't want to pull them untill new ones came but because of postal strike they've been delayed. Will let you know what it comes back with as soon as i know.I heard somewhere that the sprokets on the cams can come loose and cause this sort of problem this caught my attention because it taps slightly in the mid revs, anybody heard of this sort of thing before.Thanks for your help, will keep updating. oh one last thing whats the tolerance of resistance on the leads when testing there blue bosch ones if that makes any difference. thanks again.

Apathy 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Well just to give you some more info managed to get the car off my drive and when i get it going it goes fine i.e. accelerating but then as soon as i take my foot off the throttle it cuts no matter what the revs (with the occasional back fire)So as far as i can tell it doesn't like to go under load to start with, then when it is its happy, then when i take it off load it cuts out all together and i either need to jump it using the momentum I've already got or turn the key again. Could the stable idleisation valve be causing it. Link to post Share on other sites
