Hi fronty owners,
Has anybody had a similar problem that might be able to point me in the right direction?
Basically since I bought the car over a year ago, when driving at constant rpms through the range at any speed the engine loses power briefly for a second then picks up again. This had been getting worse especially when the idiling starting dipping and sometimes stalling by itself. So I took the car to a local garage as the engine management light came on and it went into safe mode. I thought they would diagnose the problem easily. They plugged it in and told me I needed a new egr valve. £240 later, it seemed to of fixed the idiling problem but the engine losing power and engine management light coming on problem still remained. So I took it back to the garage. They then told me a new fault was the Thottle position sensor. Apparently they couldn't get hold of a sensor so asked me to find a second hand one. Vauxhall will sell the whole inlet with sensor at £380 but I don't have that kinda money. Anyway I find a second hand inlet for £85. The chap told me he had no problems before. So I fitted this inlet. Still had the same fault code. So after searching a few posts on here I checked the vac pipes, which were all fine, I then replaced the camshaft sensor for a aftermarket ebay one. Still same problem. Sorry for the long post but Im hoping someone on here can point me in the direction of what to try next. I've also got a egr delete kit on its way, in a hope it might stop the inlet clogging up.
