1.4 8v stalls while driving? fuel? air?
Posted: Tue May 30, 2017 1:05 pm
hey guys, i've recently noticed an issue with my 2000 1.4 8v 6n2. this problem usually occurs when low on fuel. the problem is that i will be driving along and all of a sudden the car will judder, when this happens the rev needle quickly hits 0 and goes back to where it was, however after this issue occurs, the car does NOT rev past 3000 rpm even with my foot all the way down, the car start "kangarooing" at this point but if i switch the engine off and back on the problem goes away but will come back very shortly.
There will also be times where ill be sat at some traffic lights and the engine will cut out and struggle to start back up again (it will turn over but wont start as quick as usual) when it does start, it will run lumpy for a bit then go back to normal (again this usually happens when low on fuel but can happen even with half a tank).
a few things to bare in mind: the car is on 86000 miles, serviced not long ago, MOT'd not long ago and there are no warning lights showing, i have changed the fuel filter and have tried a different throttle body but the issue is persisting.
(the throttle body has more miles than the one i originally had on the car) the exhaust also has a blow in the back box.
does anyone know of a solution to this issue or has had this issue in the past?? could it be the fuel pump? could it be that both throttle bodies that i have are faulty?
any help would be appreciated.
Edit: the car idles at 1000 instead of 900 rpm when the car experiences this issue
