Stalls on steep slopes
« on: May 9, 2008, 03:40PM »
Hi all thanks for all your help so far, the U13 sss has developed a new issue.

Recently even on the flat the car has behaved like it tried to die after 10 min's of running the gets over it and carries on.
This problem has progressed to the next level.

When trying to go up one of the ramps at the local West field's the car just stalled.
It would restart but took 3 attempts to get to the top of the ramp.

The electrics / battery seem fine, ligths where bright and restart quick.

I'm suspecting probably a fuel pickup issue or may be a blockage in the system.

Anyone has a problem like this?


Cheers
Chris

ok update,

The distributor was at fault!!..

Other symptoms:
The Clock and lighting seems to pulsate, this no longer happens.

Loosing about 500 mils of oil every 5-7K kms.

Thanks for your feedback.,

And how much for the replacement distributor?
This is clearly a common problem on the KA U13.

I think thats a common problem with old engines. Mine looses about that much 2 but i do an oil change every 4000-5000km so i dont loose that much. Which reminds me, mines due.
