Engine: 2.0 16v Dizzyless one (DIS)
Mods: Drilled airbox, powerflow zorst, de-cat.
Other day going to work, coasting to a junction, car cuts out. Try to start it, fires back up again.
Same day, in the evening, sat at a junction, car starts revving between 500rpm and 1500rpm and sounded like a sak o ****, if i pressed the accelerator made no difference and just popped and 'gargled'. Few mins later off we go, no problem.
Presumed IDC problem - cleaned it using carb, wd40 AND oil.
Same happened again - pulling out of junction, splutter, choking, sounds like shite, try and rev it hard, seems to rev 'through' it and off we go again.
Over to Brens, swop ICV for an (almost) new one, that works (tested it before putting it on by running current through it)
Go for little run, fine.
Set off to go home, car idles at 2k.Try and set off rev in 1st, gets to 2.5k and seems to hesitate, then its back to running like shite for afew secs until i rev it hard then off we go again.
Does this once more going home, in 1st gear.
ONce Im moving its fine, and runs beatifully, just when setting off etc.
I guess it sounds like misfiring ??
Have checked connection on leads and all is OK. NO ECU light errors.
Presumably first thing to change is spark plugs? Any gen as to what else it could be?
