MR2 suddenly cutting out??

Post by goodfella »

Hey guys,

Drove the car to work this morning...everythings fine.

Got in to go home this evening and shes cutting out straight after firing.
The car fires ok but the revs just drop after 2-3 seconds and me pressing the throttle makes no difference. Is this a fuel problem?

My work place is in Fulham and the AA are coming tomorrow but if the chap cant get it going then does anyone know any good garages around this area??

Also...I dont know if this will make any difference but I had a new dizzie put on the other day which helped solve a miss-fire...its like one thing after another at the mo!

Thanks for any help

Sounds like one of your vacuum pipes may have come adrift or the hard pipe for the vacuum has broken. It'd be the 1st thing I'd check with those symptoms. :-k
