well im at the end of the line... this is it... my car is ***in up agin... it starts... then misses then dies... then i start it its ok... got to drive its start spluttering and backfires and all this ****.. im sick of **** goin wrong with it... im at the point where it will be for sale very soon!!!
oh and my mechanic came out the other week and replaced all my cas and dissy and all that crap too... and its due for new plugs/oil would low oil level cause this?? also my mechanic thinks that its electrical...
heya dude my vlct is doing that as well, i replaced the pwr transistor an coil an readjusted the timming check your leads in pitch black whilst engine is running too look for arking... mine turned out to be the pwr transistor.. good luck!!
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
this can sometimes can become expensive, my freind had to replace the engine harness all the way back to the ecu due to the heat under the bonnet and old age caused a break in one of the wires somewhere. it cost him about $500 to get it replaced [ bitch of a job ] let us know wat u find dude....
well.... my mate just came over to have a look at my car... he popd my bonnet i startd it and it was runing ****... then it was bak to normal... all he was doin was crimping the fuel return line.. he said my fuel regu lator is ***d... now..... i need to drive my car 2morro 2work... is it ok to drive with my fuel return line crimped with cable ties... dodgy i know.. but its 10pm and i need my car 2morro.. cheers
Certainly sounds ignition related. Find a mechanic who specializes in fuel injection. He should be able to use a 'scope to check the trigger signals from the CAS back at the ecu connector. This will determine if you are getting a 'clean' signal to the ecu. (i.e. no interference). He should also be able to check the voltage going to each spark plug. This should show up a crook power transistor/dizzy/lead.
its either the spark plugs or the leads, my mate had the excact same prob a while ago cause he got water in the spark plugs so we blew that water out and it was all good
