SchauS 0 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 hey guys, so i bought a 95 b4 passat back in december and it was running fine, i have finally got time to work on it and now its not running so well. i replaced all of the plugs with ngk's, threw new oil and a filter in, a zmax in the engine and fuel system. ive noticed a small hole in the exhaust which i can fix no probems. but its spitting out quite a big amount of fumes, not the type of fume it would be spitting if it were burning oil though. sometimes when it turns over it picks up like its gonna start thn dies?ive been told it could possibly be a timing problem, and im gonna go over the spark plugs a second time. does anyone possibly know what it could be. Thanks for any help Link to post Share on other sites
Pearsy47 1 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 is possible it could be timming its worth just checking everything out like ht leads coil pack timming etc etc i know what its like not fun !! but worth it in the end ! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Have you tried running it without the MAF to see if it runs better?? Could be that too... Link to post Share on other sites
SchauS 0 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 thanks for the help guys, ive checked everythign over and she seems to be running a lot better now, still a few clunks when you rev it up then let off, still needs to be driven around a bit to loosen everything up, cant just let it sit outside during a canadian winter and expect it to rip.
