Happen to my mates Yellow dc2r, since i had a dc2r too we changed the dizzy over, and everything worked fine, we put his original dizzy back on and exact same thing happened. Yes we thought it was the filter too, cleaned the sensors, cleaned the injectors and so on. It sounded like the car was choking. Best bet its the dizzy.
Could be signs of the coil in the dizzy going, not entirely the dizzy itself. A lot lot cheaper than replacing the whole unit!Quote:

Try changing the coil though, if it works for you then your in luck. Saves you $$ That night my friend was so over the car we cleaned everything, o2 sensor, injectors and tps. We even swapped spark plug leads. All this, ended up being the whole dizzy. Well Keep us updated! hope this helps.
Thanks guys. Well had the car with the mechanic for 2 days now. Checked the ignition coil and says all is in order there. Did some other routine checks but can't fault the car either. Car keeps backfiring through the air-intake upon startup.
Reckons he will now have to start taking off parts and have them checked individually. Man this sucks.
Sounds like a timing issue more than anything?Quote:

Cleaned it up, fixed the wires and says car runs perfectly in the workshop. Now for the moment of truth...roat test. I'm praying it'll be good otherwise reckons computer may need replacing.
lets hope not..Quote:

Yeah, any suggestions which one's the best to get more power? The little slut's cost me a lot of moolah and boy is she gonna get a hiding once I got her back on the road.Quote:

Damn she runs good again, great starts, more responsive and more grunt. Corroded wires, who would have guessed.
