FrancyGlanza Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Cars been off the road the past couple of weeks due to a few problemsone of them was with the clocks acting up moving on there own and jumping up and down..this turned out to be the coilpack and igntion coilthat was sorted but now the car gets its hard to start and its dropping in power when its on.It turns over but doesn fire up and when its doing this it lets off one or two bangs, one or two that it did do were scary loudIve changed the battery,checked plugs,checked all the earths,changed the king lead and dizzy cap,checked the timeing and also the altenator i even got it checked out and was told its 100%its getting fuelif i turn on all the electrics it drops down to 600 or around that and stays there rather than going back up. When i push the clutch it also does this but cuts out or goes down to a 100rpmAlso after a few times that it does starts, it runs like shit. if you push the accelerator it splutters and farts and sound like its going to cut out and will if you keep at itIts loosen power some where and to me could be an electrical problemEngine loom is dodgy looking too as alot of it was chopped up due to the previous set upBatterys in the boot to by the wayhas me puzzeled at this stage Anyone experience this before?Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Might be worth borrowing an ecu see if that makes a change maybe have a check over the lead connections that go to the battery just athought... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

troyG Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Check your Thermostat sensors or your exhaust sensors probably one of those could be bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mech5107 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Is your map sensor connected and working? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zurgieSR Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 if it let out a few bangs, id say its a timming or spark issue. was the distributor cap and rotor arm set correctly? also if the batterys in the boot, i would check all wiring to and from the battery.

zurgieSR Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Oh, and make sure you have the right grade of spark plugs in, not just that they look ok, but that they are what should be in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
