hey all
tonight i had some weird, annoying problem that i really don't want to have to deal with... not for another 8 days anyway!
i jumped into my car tonight, leaving school to go home. turned the engine over, started without a hitch, but it kind of struggled for a few seconds before returning to normal idle (i have previously blamed this on my 7 year old battery that has been run flat 3 times
)... took off and went to a mates place.
when i left my mates place, same thing happened again. drove off, around the corner, then i was waiting to turn at a stop sign and it just stalled on me... so i start it up again and find i have to keep the accelerator on to keep it running. happens again as i drop it to neutral as i brake for some lights! then i get it home (after giving it some hard revs in neutral) and i turn into the driveway and put it in neutral again so i can open the garage... and it seemed to have righted itself?! then i drive the car into the garage and it comes back again. coughing a little, then dies with the revs dropping off...
i am hoping this is nothing more than some crap caught in the fuel lines or something similar. i am open to suggestions as to what else it might be... because i seldom run the car to the E, let alone below it, before i get some petrol.... the last time i did it was about a month ago or so... so yeah
ideas anyone? muchly appreciated.
