just an update: When the engine goes cold or left for a long time it wont start again??????
the other thing to possibly look at is the air flow meter.you only need the engine to backfire when on gas and it is not uncommon for it to destroy the fragile wire filament that you can see when you look into the air flow meter.
For about £18-20 i can do about 100 miles,
How does this sound to you, If i disconnect the air flow meter, it changes........didly squot....no change on tick over,driving or starting!!!!!!
Air flow meter???
Okey kokey then
Looking for a new airflow meter....mine field
