My Mk3 is quite reliable but I have been less and less happy with the way it has been running. It usually statrs OK but sometimes needs some time to 'wind up'. Often when I want it to accelerate moderately it gives a cough and a splutter before getting on with it, foot to the boards acceleration is fine.
A couple of weeks ago we went on a weekend away and it suddenly and inexplicably stalled several times to the point where I had to be rescued by the RAC. It has not done this since but my faith in the car is shaken.
It as a '97 1.6 petrol (AEE?) with 100k well serviced miles on it.
I thought that it might be the Lambda sensor but looking through some of the threads here, could it be the crank sensor?
Any opinions and experiences greatly appreciated.
