ryan lang Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 was driving home from ollie ryans house last night, and was cruising on the m'way about 65mph, put my foot to the floor to overtake a lorry, and my car decided it didnt want to over take the lorry and didnt gain anyspeed, or lose any, but it sounded like a scooby popping like crazy. but it was on and off it wasnt just a constant noisebut today it has got worse and when i put my foot to the floor now, it accellerates really slowly, and the exhaust burbles like a mofo! constantly but if i bring the throttle back up, it stopsnot sure whats wrong, anyone know what it is or had the same thing happen to them?thanks in advanceryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan lang Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 my dad said its only running on 2 cylinders when its happening, but because its an intermittent juddering then i think its sensor related or electrics, took the plugs out and cleaned themtried again and its still happening, gunna check the dizzy for moisture tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 its misfiring mate.check the leads are seating right in the head.check for moisture in the spark plug wells.put some vaseline round the edge where the plugs go into the wells Quote Link to post Share on other sites
