Havard Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Ok then, After my recent problems with my NA I thought it had been sorted with a new dizzy capand rotor arm. The car has been idling badly and missed slightly under acceleration. It's been ok for a week with the new cap etc but on Friday it went back to it's old way except worse... Now the car is bubbling and popping through the exhaust and is missing badly under acceleration. Took it for a blast up the motorway today and I could hear a high pitched wine from the engine, almost like it had a turbo. Could this be a vacuum pipe problem? It hardly accelerated in 5th at all. Once back on the a roads it was very stuttery and the higher the gear and lower the revs, the worse the stuttering..!! Tomorrow I am going to try and run the system through the LPG to prove that it's not a blocked fuel filter, I then plan to take it to my local garage and have the plug leads replaced. It had irridium plugs one year ago and I have only done 2K mles since. It's then going to be the air sensor and then it may be a compression test on the cylinders..!! Any other thoughts? I heard a strange noise from near the charcoal canster too today as if it was letting air out?? Any help would be greatly appreciated..!! H.

marbleapple Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 My technical knowledge is pants but I have a similar high pitched whine when the car is cold on acceleration. Would be interested to know myself. P.s. - Its quite a nice noise.... always wanted a turbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 This has been doing me head in all day. I wonder if there is a pipe off somewhere. There are loads of threads on here with similar problems but they all seem to have different answers. I am booked on a ferry on the 10th of June and if it's something major then I will be gutted..... Where are the vacuum pipes? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
