Hi all
Ive been having some issues with me ef recently and i'm running out of ideas as to what maybe causing it. First off its idling and running a bit sloppy, then after it reaches operating temperature i majorly lose power, to the point reaching 60 kmh is a struggle. Strangely if i kill the engine and start it again i get a couple more k's up the road before it starts again. the latest issue is some serious run on. (turn off the ignition and the car continues to run) and finally despite a new fuel pump and filter a couple of months ago the pump is making a hell of a whining noise. I have tried a couple of simple things including: fuel pump and filter as mentioned air filter new set of plugs new coil pack (second hand but made zero difference so i'm assuming its not that) im running it on premium with the odd injector treatment here and there All i can come up with is sludge in the tank clogging pump and filter and the lack of fuel delivery causing the cylinders to carbon up causing the run on maybe? Am i on the right track here? Or a blown head gasket crossed my mind but the symptoms don't add up to me? So any thoughts lads? Any input will be greatly appreciated! |

How does it continue to run? Ive herd of these cars running after the ignition is turned off if you have the foot on the brake, aparently its only if the car has a trailer plug, and its faulty or theres a short it will do it, dont know how tru this is tho,

is it auto or manual?
possibly could be blocked fuel filter? or s**t in the tank. does your throttle open up fully?

Its an automatic. I did check the throttle body and yes it does open up fine, i actuly drove it to the point where it loses power and then quickly took the piping off the throttle and twisted it by hand just to be sure and it opens but the engine just splutters.

rough idle could be dirty throttle body.or ISC (idle speed controller) could be a ecu problem or something electrical as you said once u turn the engine off and wait a bit its fine. if the fuel pump is making loud noises id say something is wrong there. take out the fuel pump and have a look in the tank for dirt . did u buy the fuel pump brand new ??

Yeah brand new but was off ebay so maybe that wasnt the best idea. where do i find the isc? cause the idle is quite eratic. Im think im gonna drop out the tank and clean it anyway but if anyone has any ideas or similar experiences to share please do!

Correct me if im wrong anyone |
