Hey,
so i have got my gsi on the road and it runs Ok, but some times when im driving it just dies.
Like on sat nite i broke down and i tried for ages to fire it up with jump leads, nothing.
I got a tow down the road and when i got home i fired it over and it started first time, then i drove away and as is shifted to second the engine just gradually lost power before cutting out and refusing to start.
And when i drive about the ecu light on my digidash comes on and off, and whenever i give it hard gas it lights up and i hear a strange crackling sound coming from the engine, and a rasping out the back box and there is little power, and as i slow at junctions it sometimes cuts out completely.
Also when it is sitting idling it seems to hunt through the revs, they gradually go up to say 2500 and then the engine drops right down and almost cuts out completely.
Really strange im 99% sure the car aint gettin all power down.
