thefastone Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 You getting any fault codes? You know how to check? Also what mods you have done to the car? that will help the more technically minded amongst us to help ye!
thefastone Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 To check fault codes on a Classic see the following links... http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Kno...ReadingECUCodes http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Kno...CodeDefinitions http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/ECUReset Provided your car is standard that is, beyond that I'm no help...
scoobyseller555 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 coil packs,just had the same problem with mine,has the car fluctuating idle-would point to maf sensor. Gav
gus the bus Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Baz, Possibly a coil pack breaking down. Check all the leads for splits/breaks. Does it only happen when the car is cold? as the other option for that could be Lambda sensor failing. Just ma tuppence worth

Big 'D' Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) If you can, read the ECU codes as described earlier by Dale aka 'The Fast One', the car should tell you what is wrong with it Two of the most likely causes have been described already the coil pack and the o2/lambda sensor, if the check engine light comes on with this hesitation it could also be the knock sensor or the MAF sensor. Cheers Iain Edited January 11, 2009 by Big 'D'
thefastone Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Why do people insist on refering to me as "the fast one"...? I am a person and not an object...
b4z Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 just changed the maf and a have individual coils will fault code read it and see what she says
thefastone Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Could STILL be the MAF, as they are so Fragile... I'm sure that I heard a while ago about a dealer that they got 2 new ones to fit and they were broken too...
Big 'D' Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Why do people insist on refering to me as "the fast one"...? I am a person and not an object... LOL a bit touchy mate, if I knew your name I would use it I am not an a*** Cheers Iain
Guest greegsy Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 My old car - MY99 turbo had similar symptoms and it was the boost solenoid, removed and cleaned out with carb cleaner then refitted. 10 minute job and car ran sweet again after that. Possible cause maybe? Greegsy

Thats ok then, I didnt want to jump in repeating something that you had already put up in this post (the ecu fault reading bit) so I though it best to quote you instead Cheers Iain
