Have not had time to check the car yet, however I will use your suggestions and try everything and let your'll know what happens

Verdict?

Howzit, checked all, points to power transistor, not 100% sure though.

Does it still do it....or should I say...did it still do it...

Yes it does, hadn't had time to strip stuff and check properly.

Had a similar problem on mine. Turned out the cable from the ECU that runs the fuel pump was damaged. Only found out after I dropped in a new motor

I had a similar prob, change the plugs

try checking some of the following items, vacume lines, coil packs, cas. those used to give me endless issues.

initially i had a faulty cas, had to keep advancing every now n then.

then had a stuffed coil pack, replaced and 13 went like a dream again.

the vacume line on the manifold then kept on making me think i had a stuffed coil again every now n then.

all or one of these can cause the problem ur experiancing.

let us know what the actual prob. is though...

Sounds like it running very lean

Richard · Post by **Richard** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 1:58 pm

Actually it's running very rich, strong fuel smell when idling and only gives me about 350km's to a tank.
I've done a complete service, changed plugs and oil etc.

Checked following items.

afm - fine
coils - fine
cleaned and replaced o-rings on injecters
checked vacume lines - fine
cas - fine
power transistor - reconditioned (I hope they did not screw it up)
Replaced AAC valve

Wiring could be a problem, my idle becomes a bit unstable when I fiddle around with some wiring, need to strip and test.

Spoke to Ads from the website, I might ask him to check stuff out, he has helped me a few times. Time is a problem, don't have enough of it.

+1

Cleaned your AFM?

Spark plugs? Do you have the correct heat range installed?
