Hi,
my '96 2.0L 8v cabriolet intermitantly cuts outs, revs jump up and down causing jerking and backfiring :confused:. Also, strange clicking noise occurs around ignition switch/dashboard whilst this is happening.
Throttle body was cleaned out year ago which resolved stalling at low revs. Mechanics computers says halls sensor fault, replaced distributor problem still occurring. Now says crank shaft sensor which will cost £200! Mechanic could be very wealthy before problem resolved!!:zx11:
Any help would be much appreciated, cheers you guys...
