Bit of a pain this one without actually having a look. Ok, It could be gassing up. So I wonder if somewhere in the Exhuast is blocked, or maybe the Cat has dis-integrated, or the Exhuast has had a "Ding, and is restricting gas flow, or evn the rear silencer has collapsed internally via Corrosion An...

can you get a coil pack from a friend to test if yours is bad? i guess the coil pack will be expensive so it is better to test first before you spend your money. also if the coil pack is bad it will show at all speeds... this sounds like bad spark plugs or bad wires so i'd start by testing/replacin...

I have a power loss after flinging my 1.5i around corners; the car bogs like all shit, but i ease off, and...

SOHC Engine Loose of Power

Hi Today I was driving and the car then started to loose power on acceleration. It smells as if it is not firing on all 4 cylinders. I have been told that it is some ignition pack on the front of the motor. Quotes so far have been over $450 AUS. It was suggested by another person to ask around No vi...
