terribleturner Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 So i filled up on Thursday with Tesco's 99ron, drove the car home and parked up. Today i go outside, start the car and she's fine. After a few minutes i drive off and i hit the dual carriageway. I put my put down a little more to overtake a car and it starts to cough and splutter and then a bang. I then find i can't move my foot more than 30-40% without the car struggleing. Got home and parked up and she stalled. I then restarted several times and it would idle very eraticly and eventually stall again. May pop the plugs out in a minute, but anything else i should have a look at?

terribleturner Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well i was removing the spark plug cover and looked down at the Map Sensor. For some strange reason i felt i should touch it, and as i felt around it i noticed the hose was off Plugged it back on, turned her over, and job done :club: So simple yet such pain in the arse. Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Losing that hose off the MAP sensor was what caused at least one engine blowup in this club, so if yours has popped off by itself I suggest roughing the barb up a bit with sandpaper and tie tagging the blighter on -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Thanks Ian. Am tempted to add a bit of superglue to the nipple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
