Help Please
I have been given a 2 ltr petrol Cowley built75,
Recent new clutch, etc. Engine starts first turn of the key, ticks over fine. But when you start driving it drives like a Kangaroo It is as if you constantly put your foot up and down on the throttle pedal and won't go above 4k rpm. It just surges, and when you then come to let it tick over it ticks over at about 2K and the revs go up and down. Anyone any ideas ?? as I am more used to Diesel. If it is a simple cure fine if not it goes to the Casse.

That's what is happening with mine. I think I've narrowed it down to the fuel feed pipe to the injectors. Mine wobbles from side to side and I'm sure it should be securely fastened. . . . just a sec, I'll check the pipe on my diesel. I'll get back to you

And of course there's no equivalent pipe on a diesel
But, I'm pretty sure the problem is a wobbly pipe intermittently cutting fuel to the injectors. I'm waiting for a visit by MarinaBrian to change my timing belt and help with this other problem. So check that pipe. It's the one in the middle. The other pipe nearest to the battery moves anyway. Hope this goes some way to help

That's nice.
Do you know the service history of this car John? Quote:
Also, remove the engine acoustic cover and check the cam cover breather tubes beneath. The T junction is usually where they break. There are lots of KV6 owners here who do their own maintenance so no need to consider cold blooded murder of this poor old 2 litre. Simon

There is a "File " with the car but as yet I have not had spare time to read it all I know is it is a 2000 registered and fairly Basic spec When I get it back home I can sort the VIN number out and do a search. The Lurching is consistent with you putting your foot on and off the throttle in quick succession..It will start up easily enough and did tick over well, But after trying to drive it the tick over went a little haywire I will check out what you suggested and see what happens. John Number 6.

As yet I have not looked at it closely but will investigate the points you have bought up..
One thing I have since learnt is that the instrument head has been changed and the replacement was from an unknown car on the display when you switch it on shows ride height and traction control I believe, As this car has neither fitted I wonder if this could upset the ECM and cause the problem.

Hi there John.
Have you come up with any solutions yet to the problems on your gift car ??? Even though your car is a diesel there are lots of compatible parts to keep if you do decide to scrap it.--- |

But I have a problem with the airbag light staying on which I am trying to cure,Hence the reason I have not updated what is happening. And to be honest it would be criminal to scrap/break it as the inside is perfect.
