hi guys right

i have a 1.2 8v i nova

it starts and runs some times for 30 mins some times for 10 the misses then cuts out :mad: some times restarts easy other you have to put your foot on the thottle a little.

i have replace

idle control valve, and cleaned it all out etc
little box on the bulk head with the pipe going to the carb
throttle pershion senser
crack shaft senser
fuel pump relay (pump still runs as engine dies)
injector
coil
bit under coil

still no change :roll:
it dose have a silly air filter on it and thats really all

any one have any idea's????

when you say "bit under coil" do you mean the ignition module? if not may be worth a go gives the same symptoms as your giving when they pack up. it wont pack up untill they get hot but when left to cool it will run again till hot again.
