Intermitent Engine woes

Featured Replies

Hi All,

I have engine trouble with my 1.8 4x4 turbo.

The engine warning light is on, it has been plugged in, and i have injection problems, apparently 1 injector is not controlling how to much to inject, so the mechanic tells me (not known which injector though), But the car runs fine.

Up until recently though, when i start the car, on occasions it idles fine, and then the engine drops off, if im pulling out of junctions it happens again, the power just goes, if i turn the car off and back on it sorts the problem out (bit this isnt ideal sat in the middle of the road).

Could/are these problems linked, and is there a cheap fix at all.

Many thanks in advance.

Erratic idle and hessitation could be maf related. Mine is doing the same and is currently running with maf disconnected.
