Hi,
I have since several years a BRG TVR Griffith 1992 4.0 litre
When cold, she starts without problems, but when she has done some miles (getting hot) when you brake for a bend and then, in second gear, re-accelerate she hesitates and sometimes even stalls. However the motor coolant temperature remains correct.
Idle stepper, injectors, depression unit, airflow meter, spark plugs, leads, distributor all new
Can someone help me out and may be do a miracle?
Thanks a lot for any advice

I would first recommend buying one of these which may narrow down the fault..

I had hesitancy issues with my 95 500 when hot and it was the ignition amplifier. Changed that and it was all good

My 500 was running fine and then died. Still had a spark (but apparently too weak) but wouldn't start when hot.
Started fine when cold though.
Was an easy fix as the coil was breaking down when hot. It actually rattled when shaken!!

As you haven't mentioned it worth swapping the coil.....

I will second the ignition amplifier... I suffered the same sort of symptoms - plus wouldn't restart until it had cooled - and replacing the ignition amplifier resolved the problem immediately.
