Hello.
Right, recently my car has been having problems and it comes on and off and you never know when it's going to do it. But what it does is this:
When you are driving and get to around 3000 revs sometimes the engine will splutter like it is misfiring or not getting enough fuel. (And this can happen in any gear) but anyway if you go down a gear to try and get the revs up the revs drop even more and the car stalls eventually.
However if you keep it in the gear and floor it then the revs slowly go up and once after about 4500 revs it clears up and goes fine but then will shortly do the same again. The only way to clear it is to stop the engine wait about 30secs and restart but it will soon do it again.
Anyway I talked to the guy who hadf it before me and he said he had problems in the winter and so put a tube from the exhust to the K&N to stop it getting too cold and a mechanic also said it may be the carbretter icing up because of the K&N but to me it doesn't seem the lickly suspect.
Any ideas? Has it happened to you?
Cheers Adam
P.S I have a 1.3 SR. (K&N Bolt on filter) I have changed the distributor cap, rotor arm, spark plugs, leads, oil filter and petrol filter to try and stop it to no avail.
Thanks for the help!
