Need help diagnosing a running issue

Postby Donhumbostoni » Thu Jun 18, 2015 5:28 pm

ok so im still in dubai and my brother is driving my car at home. not happy but oh well. now its having some issues this is what he has told me.


Normally when it's warm, no power bogs at mid-high revs pops and bangs keeps stalling, strong smell of petrol idle bounce (900-1200)

what do you guys think?

i said it could be main relay,spark plug, ignition leads..... what else?

i told him to take off the iacv and clean it. he said the it was ok but it was cold. today its warmer and the issue is happening again. just told me the plugs are black and wet....

I'm guessing/hoping the plugs are wet with fuel? If so it sounds like ignition timing, but as always it could be many things and if they're wet with oil something terrible has happened haha
