Happy new year - bah humbug
right, after the stalling and erratic idling I took the stepper out and gave it a good clean through. for the first 24 hrs post cleaning great no probs.
THen yesterday it was back - but worse!!!
Its like its flooding, started up in the station carpark, waited for it to warm up, then moved forward, got to the exit, where it stopped. Only 10 cars stuck behind me. Turned the key and the engine just turned and turned, no fire. Switched off. Waited two minutes, started no probs but didn't want to idle. Thank god its an auto, bit of left foot juggling got me out of the carpark.
Made it to the garage, filled up, and managed to pull away from the pump to, thats right you guessed it, block the entrance. Switch off, wait, juggle feet, no probs got me home fine.
Could the stepper motor be "shagged" beyond cleaning?
