I just picked up a 1996 vauxhall frontera sport 2.0 petrol. It was cheap enough and I'm going turn it into a off roader.
The problem started this morning when it was turning over but not firing. I got it running but the revs were hunting. I took it for a run and got the odd miss fire from it. Called to get fuel in it and started ran fine until I got home, pulled into my drive and the hunting started again, along with the engine management light and difficult starting.
Any ideas?
