What Does This Mean?

What would it mean if after booting the supe for a bit then bring it back to idle the engine management light and the warning light coming on (idles at lo revs) .... then pulling away the car starting cutting out and spluttering and generally not wanting to move (almost stalling), coming to a stop and letting it idle again and the car jumping back to life and suddenly being fine with no probs !???

Loose spark plugs? Fuel pump problems????

oh its a completely standard 6TT at a 95 with low miles

wiring, but sounds like a hose split or not making a seal properly

Yeah had a quick look at the hoses but why would it come back to life as if nothing had happened???

sometimes i can do 150+ and others 120 then a brick wall, i can give it large one day and then another no 2nd turbo when you kickdown so you tell me cos my supe seems to do what it wants, and i cant find the problem the car seems fine most of the time

So does the yellowish engine light and warning light come on... and stay on?

i get no idication of a problem have checked to see if you are showing fault codes?? if you engine light and warning light have come on then the ecu might have recorded a fault

Check your coil pack clips; also check what error code you get from eng mgt lite (ie from ecu) if its code 14 it will be cp connectors.

for about a month but can't afford to get it looked at cos i know its an involved fault finding process wich means ££££££££££ in labour

Yeah ... not cheap! let us know how u get on ... hope its nothing too bad!

Just took it out for a slow ride to she how she goes.... the cars running in perfect condition now... even tho i gave it a little bit of a hammering... not even a peep... could this have been a fuel problem???

The problem only occurred after i gave it a PROPER thrash so its making me think because ive have the rear de-cat and not upgraded the fuel pump (yet) that i kind of temporarily starved the engine of petrol (the pump can only handle a slight thrash).

Or am i just talking complete shite???
