fizzle Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) sorry not an invite to a beer drinking comp... when i apply the gas the car chuggs and splutters, (sounds like a blockage in fuel pipe ) this only occurs whilst engine is cold, once warmed up its fine.. i tried the STP injector cleaner, and also a fuel cleaner but to no avail. i've had 2 m8's look at it one thinks could be o2 sensors the other says the temp sensor.. has anyone else had this problem?, where are the said sensors located? how much to replace? its a 94 n/a. thanks Edited August 3, 2009 by fizzle (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 The linked picture taken by Ian C shows one of the o2 sensor positions http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13944&d=1112559002 thought that is for a TT and I don't know where the NA setup differs. I know they're not alike though Not sure on the temp sensor he's referring to though sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Maybe check the condition of the air filter: if it's old it might be starving the engine of air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the bit where the HT leads go is the distributer cap and inside that is the rotor arm. If its not been changed in 3 years you'd do well to replace it, will probably transform your car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
