Help

Post by BiggestNizzy » Sat Sep 24, 2011 10:30 pm

On my way home the car started toi feel funny and I was getting a pulsing through the engine when on low throttle, this seemed to get progressivly worse on the way home it got to the stage that when I was stopped and had to pull away I had to give it some beans.

When I got home the rev counter was bouncing a couple of hundred rpm and looking in the back when you give it a tiny bittle of throttle the engine bounces about a bit.

I will have another look in the morning when I can see but does anyone have any ideas ?

Missfire?
Wet plug bores?

I doesn't feel like plug bores as the engine had all it's power.

I will pop the Dizzy off when I get home and have a look inside I did replace it last year as it got full of water.

This morning I popped off the TPS gave it a skoosh of wd40 then did an ECU reset and that seems to have cleared it up.
