Hi all;

My mate just bought a Nova with the C20XE Engine came up the road from fife abt 3hrs away with no problem little smokey thats all. Next day went a run seemed all right stopped at a shop and then wouldnt start. Been in a garage for days now changed Fuel Pump, Distributor, Leads and Plugs, the coil, Coolant temp sensor, spark plugs, Idle control valve and the air flow meter. we just cant seem to get to the back of this problem, car starts some of the time but not too keen extremley smokey and coughing and splutering near enough all the time and will end up coming to a halt.

Any Ideas

SCRAP LOL
