Hi all i've got a problem with my golf, when idling it misfires occasionally, when accelerating on the motorway at about 70 it sometimes missfires and seems to hesitate.
Also when accelerating it pinks quite badly, manly when changing gear, say change from 1st to 2nd and for one second it will pink then it'll be fine.
I adjusted the timing by moving the dizzy and the car performed perfectly it stopped pinking, the misfire went and it pulled strongly through all the gears.
About a month later all the symptoms are back and it's gutless and pinking again?
It has new plugs leads dizzy cap and rotor arm., i'm not sure what to go for next i'm thinking it's possibly the lambda as it also smells very rich on tickover.
Has anyone come across this before? any help would be appreciated,
thanks peeps
Ben
