[align=center:ec0c55a2b1]Ive had this problem a little while now but I wanna fix it finally.

When I start the car in the morning, it starts fine, but, when I drive it feels like the engine is restricted.

For example im driving normal, 3rd gear 3500revs, then the car feels like the world strongest man has grabbed the rear of my car and is trying to stop it, then it boosts back up and drives fine, then does it again?

But, when the car gets warm [about a qtr line on the temp guage] it stops doing it?

I thought it might be ISCV? It’s not, now im thinking it is a fuel problem? Like the pump is f**ked or something?

anyone help?


Cheers

Gav

do a search for it, theres pics showign it.

Cheap and easy fix.

Basically they don't read correctly and corrode over time. It basically tells the ECU how to fuel the engine for the engines temperature.

About 12 quid from GSF etc for a new one.

do you have to drain the coolant before removing the old one?
