problem with my nova

[s14a]

So the ecu light comes on when it starts to cut out?
As it will come on if it just dies.... Thats normal, just like when turning the ign on.

It could be the dizzy sensor dying/plug shaking loose, or maybe the coil/module overheating(hence it does it when hot)
Or fuel pump relay.

Does it start straight up after it cuts out?

ecu light comes on a minute or 2 after you start from cold, it will tick over for a while but is very lumpy, then gets fully warm will cut out and if you start it bk up will only tickover with the aid of your accelerater....

doubt its fuel pump relay as it will start straight bk up....
so try swapin the coil?? plugs defo arnt loose....

thanks for your help

Check the plug gap(s). How old are rotor arm & dizzy cap?

Is the AFM to TB hose a total seal? (no holes)

Can you try a spare AFM? (know anybody with 1)

CHECK THE FECKING CODES!

A monkey could do it. With no arms and a blindfold.

i changed afm already lad, is sealed right also...

never checkd rotar arm and dizzy,would they throw up fault codes???

[craig green]

No they'd not throw up codes. My GSi through a wobbly/hot running prob for a while which I traced to poor fitting leads, large plug gap issues.

[s14a]

it was in it when i got it, i changed the plugs and it made no difference??

il check the rotor arm/coil/leads 2morrow.....

its a strange 1...

[Timmy]

Are the plugs correctly gapped?

0.9mm IIRC.
