nismo_lp Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 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. 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismo_lp Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 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??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
