    ta!

  2. This problem sounds exactly like my car!

    For me, it only happens when it's raining. My car has been 100% reliable in the dry, but when it's very wet outside I can almost guarantee this problem will happen within about 0.5 miles of my drive. I put my foot down, and the car splutters, the revs drop and sometimes they'll drop off so far it'll stall. When it stalls, it won't start again for at least 5-10 minutes, at which point it seems to start reluctantly and splutter some more for a while, taking another 10 mins or so to get up to being 'normal' again, and then it'll have no problems for the rest of the journey.

    I've taken the car to a garage, and they couldn't find the source of the problem. There is actual money involved if someone on here can get to the bottom of this!

    A couple of things: When my car died the other day (same reason) the RAC man turned up and had a play. He reckoned it was still sparking OK. When he opened the cylinder he was expecting that we'd flooded the engine (by trying to start it lots) but the cylinders were apparently dry. All this makes me think it's a problem with the fuel pump?! Perhaps the electrics of the fuel pump (because of the association with water) But I'm no mechanic, and I'm sure it could be lots of other things?

    Car is a VW Polo 6n 1998 R reg 1.6l petrol 75 BHP engine manual.

    P.S. Sorry if this is a semi-thread hijack.

    possibly worth changing your fuel relaey switch sometimes the damp can make them fault.

  3. this car uses a MAP sensor which is a bit of a pain dont know much about them,

    ill see if i can get a new lamda it might help..

    the problems started one day after driving for about 4 hours in really heavy rain...

  4. hi guys,

    ive had a bit of an issue with the car when its not upto temprature, (the cars a mitsubishi cyborg - bit like a colt, 1.6 dohc injection)

    ill be driving the car and it'll be going perfectly find, then ill put my footdown and it feel's really under powered and stuttery but then a few seconds later it'll be fine and when the car's warms its fine,

    the rev's still build up but the car doesnt seem too move...?

    ive tried eliminating different things too solve it but had no luck:

    changed coilpacks,

    changed spark plugs

    changed my air filter (one i had was direct air feed thought the water being sucked through might be too much)

    no luck,

    does anyone have any advice at all? or any ideas on what the problem could be? is there any sensors i should clean?

    i always run good fluids in the car, v power is always used.

    could it be the leads of the coils? one of them seems too have a slight brown tint too the stalk?

    fuel filter? fuel pressure?

    any ideas/ advice appreciated

    cheers guys

    craig :)

  5. guy is a legend,

    i think sometimes people seem too forget that a demo can be too get the basics of trials across too people, hes not neceseraly there too push the boundaries and bail he's just simply showing people what trials is about,

    this guy was one of the reasons i started riding, hes an awsome street/dirt/trials/freerider rider

  6. its like being given the choice of recieving head off either a really hott girl... or a moose...

    ...and then choosing the moose...

    daft frenchies and the silly decisions!

    get some frogs&snails down your neck's and think about what you have done
