coastline taxis Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 just got back of me hols and wish id just stayed there. so il start with this one not a single fault code or light on. car fires up and runs fine when cold but as son as it warms up it cuts out then runs like a bag of crap every time you try to acelerate it cuts out. had a quick look this morn and all wires/connectors fine also plenty of fuel also been told that timming has been checked and is fine. aparently it sort of ticks over but is realy chattery then eventualy cuts out Quote
iannez Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 if the noise is from the top end it sounds like your loosing oil pressure and starving the top end from oil causing the hydraulic tappets to run dry. look through the oil filler with a torch to see how much oil is being flung around. could be the oil pump or just a blockage so try a decent engine flush and some fresh oil before getting to involved.
