peter_reid Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Saturday morning I was driving home when the car started to misfire and stutter. Foot to the floor and revs wouldn't go over 3000 revs. Eventually got home and changed the plugs, air filter and leads that didn't help either. Disconnected the battery for 15 mins and success. It ran fine! Now it's the same again. The only way it can run is if I disconnect the battery. (Of course I have to reconnect it again) Pete
drb5 Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Sounds like the car is going into limp mode. You'll need to get it hooked up, via select monitor, to have an idea of what's going on, i'm afraid.
drb5 Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I'd have thought, it should still be able to rev past 3k revs though and Pete's already said, he's changed the leads.
peter_reid Posted May 31, 2006 Author Posted May 31, 2006 SORTED I had a spare cold start valve so decided to give it a try and yeeha it now goes like f*** Thanks for all the replies guys Pete
peter_reid Posted June 1, 2006 Author Posted June 1, 2006 I was a bit gutted as I have provisionally sold it. Cheers for the advice though folks! Pete
