Hello :D
I drive a 99' Bora 2.0 SE and am having problems :(
Every now and then we suffer from a lack of power, spluttering and intermitent surges in power! Almost like its funning out of fuel then it picks up then it runs out again.
Also sometimes you can put your foot down hard and it doesnt go anywhere just kind of struggles a l long, and dies over around 2,500 revs and if you change gear and then accelerate it dies again, then picks up a bit, then dies etc ... rinse and repeat!
It also uses a trememdous amount of fuel, we are only using it for local runs each day and its not unknown to put £20 odd, in the course of 2 days!
We did have a new exhaust system and cat fitted recently, i dont know if this would have enything to do with it .. ?
I have tried to read a bit on the net but am not mechanically minded, some suggestions say a throttle body sensor others say its an engine management problem ... opinions arelike heads ... everyones got one.
Hopefully someone with an expert mind can help .. ?!
Thanks very much :beerchug:
