hi all just got my car back on the road after being sat for at least a month, all was fine with my car untill it started jolting and backfiring now it runs really lumpy and wants to cut out!!!. im 90% sure this could be the a.f.m but i dont know wot other signs there are to look out for? ive got the 2.5 motronic system on my car if that helps!
types of troubles with running:
1. idles erraticly
2. coughs and stutters when accelerator is pressed
3. put my foot right down, it hessitates and theres a big flat spot then somtimes it goes and i get full performance then goes s**t again soon after!
ive changed the i.c.v because that was siezed before all this happened so i know its not to do with that, it was changed bout 2 months ago!.
i disconnected the a.f.m when it was running and it made a slight improvement on the running but not great, dont know whether the e.c.u has a back-up program or not:( .
ive heard the a.f.m's are a bit tempremental on the xe's but i dont know if they can be fixed or bodged up, ive tried cleaning it with brake cleaner and no different at all:mad: :mad: .
any info on this would be very helpful cheers dudes:thumb: :thumb: .
