98 1.6i stuttering - karen1
hi was wondering if anyone can help with this problem, when car starts in morning runs fine once it gets warmer if i switch engine off sometimes takes a bit to start it, and when driving it misfires an loses power but if u decelarate slighty picks up again, wont take throttle if u put food down an when sitting idle revs jump between 1- just above 0 but doesnt cut out unless u push accelator sometimes catches sometimes doesnt. any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Scrap it.!

This misfire you have do you have to top up any coolant/water?

Is the MIL light lit?

Vacuum leak somewhere in the intake pipework, or leaking intake manifold, or one of the anscilliary pipes off the intake, e.g. to the brake servo / booster?

EGR valve coked up and sticking open?

A misfire can be several things why i asked about the water is when water leaks internally it leaks into the cylinders and sprays on the spark plug causing a misfire.

But do check above for vac leaks etc. failing that take it to a good local indie for a inspection.
