My car is going in for a service in about 4 weeks, and it is acting a bit funny, just want to know if anyone has any suggestions for what it may be.

When i first start my car and its cold, i find under light throttle that the motor misses a bit. Once its warm though, it sorts its self out pretty quickly.

Also, when i started it the other day, i noticed that it has a strange "sucking" kinda noise happening, dunno if that me being parenoid... I couldnt see any hoses that had come right off.

Also, after i give it a bit of a flogging up the local range road, for the next few hours/days the idle goes mega lumpy. Sounds like i have a decent cam in it, but i dont!

I know its proly all pretty random stuff, but yeah, if it is all syptoms for a problem, let me know.

Cheers,
Nic

mate..im sharing your pain... same syptoms here too... well, the misfire anyway... going to try oxy censor next...

try all these things..
check spark plugs (cracks in ceramic coating)
spark plug leads
injectors
map censor
knock censor
oxygen censor
coil pack
ecu

i know what would fix it... Learn how to drive nicco! lol

You need to keep off that Stuart hill road mate...

See you on the weekend when i come down for your B'day

josh - bah!!

Fordfreak - this service coming up is the 150 000, so i think the plugs and leads will be changed anyway, ill try put some injector cleaner through it, and ill run a self test when i get back home.

Note: i really like the lumpy idle though, sounds good!! ha ha

nice lumpy idle then... stall... doh she won't start again... lol

We heading for a photo shoot this weekend... the EL and the BA?

nah no stalling mate, sits fine at the lights or whatever just lumpin away at 700 rpm.

If my car isnt covered in gum tree on the weekend then we'll go for some photos
