NayVR6 0 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Folks,I posted on here about my 1998 Highline (OBD2) running like poo basically and it was down to the plug leads not being 'clicked' down correctly.Anyway,occasionally the tick over will drop when stationary at lights/junctions etc and the car will cut out (hot or cold) also, the car splutters and bogs down as if there is no power (happened on the motorway twice at a 70mph..............you put your foot down but nothing the car is almost lifeless then suddenly kicks back to normal?) these things happen about once a week thats it???Ive fitted new leads, plugs and coilpack. Would a throttle body incorperating the TPS be advisable to fit next? Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 had the same cutting out problem recently mate on mine and it was the throttle position sensor so defo worth checking mate Link to post Share on other sites
