i havent had a good week...
it started when the fuel diaphragm damper on my nova gte rusted to bits and p***** fuel everywhere, and now i wake up this morning and started driving to work and my car is behaving very odd.
1) it seems to have a missfire, seems to jolt when driving along
2) theres a rattle when i accelerate. sounds like a washer spinning on a bolt but nothing is loose. doesnt do it when you put the car in nuetral and rev it, only when driving.
3) the idle goes from normal 800ish up 1500 and holds it there for 4/5secs and then drops and then does the same again and again and again...
've checked for air leaks and cleaned out the airflow sensor, but still does it. even chahnged the chipped ecu back to the standard one but still does it.
please help, i need the car for work in the morning so really want to sort it tonight.
cheers
