Still cutting out
Discussion
After i bodged the throttle cable again. burst a water hose-badly overheated and cut out on me. Fixed hose on roadside, police car passed me with lights flashing and caused accident with oncoming traffic oops!
Police got RAC to tow me home wwhich i thought was jolly decent of plod. Anyway, couldnt restart car when i got it back home, it finally started but cut out almost immediately (luckily not seized). Got garage to take it away to hospital the next day. I told them to fit new throttle cable and sort out cutting out problem,also asked them to fit new water temp sensor.
Got car back yesterday and was told damp in the distributor causing 2 cylinders not firing. Quite plausable due to steam after hose splitting. Guess what happened on the way home--Cut out twice!!!!
The new sensor hadnt arrived but im not convinced thats the problem anyway. Bought a 700 amp monster battery to replace poxy 300 amp jobby and still cutting out. Whats the easiest way to see if its a fuel or spark problem? sorry to bore you all but just had to get this tale off my chest.
