Some of you may recall that i had a problem with my 91 civic 1.3, there was a puffing sound coming out of the exhaust every so often and at that moment the car would shudder.
It mainly occured when cold but today after my sister was using the car for about an hour learning how to drive, (no disasters, just a few jumpy start offs, manual gearbox) i noticed that the car when idle would make this puff sound and every so often two of the sounds together, the car at this stage was fully warm and the fan was coming on.
At one point the car just cut out and when i attempt restart it started first time and just continued this puffing sound. There is a smell like petrol from the exhaust of the car a lot of the time, Anyone any ideas? Thanks Alan
