Hey lads, so my car...Well it has its problem back, in summary so far, it was cutting out on me about 5 weeks ago to the point where the whole thing went dead on me and dublin and i had to push it off the street and get it jump started and then it was fine again, then the following week it was running rough and cutting out about every 10 seconds and sometimes it would not start as quick as it usually does, was getting fed up with it go brought it to the garage but they couldnt actually see what was wrong because it only kept cutting out in traffic. They checked the electrics, cooling, all that and it was all grand and they retuned the engine and put new plugs in it, said it was fine, and were puzzled by its cutting out on me
Last Week it would cut out about twice a day again in traffic, but would start first time and be fine again.
Eariler today on the way up to dublin it was going fine, however on the way home it started cutting out when i let the clutch in on 4th gear to 3rd. It started fine but kept cutting out so i used the choke for a bit, but it was cutting out with that aswell, I pulled over and turned off all electrics and i noticed that it was running rough, so i reved it for a bit, it eventually came right again after about 10 minutes and was fine the whole way home.
Is this a case of dirty petrol or something, even though the tank never gets empty because the gauge is broken and I use the trip meter, but over the time its been cutting out on me i've gone through about 5 tanks of petrol and been using that STP complete system cleaner stuff.
Electrics I have on usally are dim lights, radio and heater, tend now to keep brakes on when in trafic, was cooling fine, heard fan come on, ANY IDEAS?
