martinhext Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I have a 1998 1.8 lx petrol xantia. Its developed an occasional problem where it will suddenly lose power and sometimes just stalls.Its mainly on the motorway where it will be going along nicely and all of a sudden the revs drop to next to nothing and it lurches as it repeatedly regains power before losing it again. Other times, when i pull up at a junction or go round a corner it will just stall. I've been told by a mate to try cleaning out the throttle housing as it might be full of cack, just wondered if im on the right track here or if anyone else has any ideas. The car has had a new battery and the fuel and air filters replaced. I also changed the clutch a while ago and cant remember if it was happening before that, thought maybe i could have broke a cable for a sensor or something? Any help very welcome. Thanks Quote
