put a new set of plugs in it today, no difference still has the same fault... my local mechanic says put a compression tester on it, and if its ok then go for a coil pack... i did remove the throttle position sensor today, and drilled out the brass bushes so that i could turn it around a few degrees, i did wonder whether it was worn in the lower half of the throttle range, as this seems to be the only area its missing, it idles fine, and runs at high revs great...
what effect would disconnecting the throttle position sensor have on running of engine to prove its not working ?
seems to be missing when its on load.... downhill and on the flat seems to be good...
i dont really feel like giving up on this car, M.O.T. is up on monday so after that i will have to park it off road...
bodywork is real good, has a few scratches and dings but i would love to get it back working again...
last time i degrease engine on it though... it was working fine up until that !!!!!!
