Guest Lee81 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Check for spark. Could be failed coil pack. Check fuel pressure also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s11pyk Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 disconnect the battery, leave for half hour. clean all the sensors etc and reconnect the battery. mine seems better for it. hope its ok now, if i ever get it back from the lazy mot station il let u no!

Guest shaun Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 my be crank sensor has moved???? if the air gap is not right then will give same sort of problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMk4TwinCarb Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Backfiring and cutting out is probably the timing out in some way ie crank sensor coil pack or even the belt slipped. My water pump blew it's gasket last year and made the timing belt slip but that was more than a few ridges and bent about 6/8 valves.

Guest shaun Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 not being funny how much fuel do you have in there as some pumps will only run if there's over qtr of tank or more. mine would do the simalar thing was mfi tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
