Title: Intermittant power loss
Post by: Big Fra on 19 March 2008, 03:04:48
Under hard acceleration, my miggy sometimes decides to react like a slug crossing the floor of a glue factory.

i.e. not very quickly

There does not seem to be any specific pattern as to when this happens.

Service, breathers, fuel filter, multiram pipes. All done.

The thing is getting on my tits wick!

If I can't rely on the response and the power of all 6 cylinders all the time, then why should I put up with 20mpg?

Good job I have an engine transplant in mind! :y

But until that happens, any ideas guys? :-?

okay.....how is idle, how is consumption, are both multi rams flicking on and off?

How new are the lead, plugs and dispack?

fwiw, I have exactly the same, just occasionally I'll put my foot down and nothing happens, have to lift off completely, apply gently back up to speed and then its fine again. I wondered if it was the LPG system but it does the same on petrol.

you're not alone!

Idle - Lumpy

Comsuption - ave 22, no better than 26 on mainly motorway

Multirams - operational

Leads, plugs, dispack - never changed since I have owned the car (18months) As for before that, no idea.

Lumpy idle and hesitant under load - could be either or a combination of leads/ plugs dispack.....

Sounds like sensor to me..Maf or lambda..

Will not give EML but will cut the performance..
