this is beyond my normal range, so i thought i'd ask you lot..
our company secretary has a 53 reg daewoo tacuma thing.
it has what appears to be an x16xel in it. it definitely has a throttle cable...
it has started running rough & she asked me to have a quick look, so i did, then i turned my attentions to her car...
i have not got access to any obd type reader (my laptop went bang & i haven't got it fixed yet)
so i was doing simple basic checks. all the usual stuff is ok, as in head gasket, running temp.. it was a little low on oil, but nothing else of note.
all 4 plugs are getting a decent spark
the injectors are quite noisy, but they seem to be working ok.
i tried unplugging the lambda sensor, as it is really easy to get at, thinking it would go on to limp home mode, or similar, and it did nothing to change how the engine was running....
should i be looking at cam sensors, CTS etc, or is the lambda the likely culprit..
all help will be appreciated, and unfortunately there are no pics of the secretary...
cheers
