Does your car have TCS?

Cheers!

AFAIR, no 1990 cars had TCS. I think that was introduced (unfortunately) in '92.

Your spark plugs must have old cracked spark plug wires.

NO that's not it because my car has direct ignition no spark plug wires.

the car is running good now for some odd reason?

You may have gotten some "bad" gas, maybe had some debris or water/condensation in it. If you get gas right after the tanks have been filled at the station, some debris will get stirred up in the underground tanks and can cause the type of problems you were seeing. Add a bottle of fuel additive/injector cleaner and see if that helps.

Well... I just had some similar problems - see the thread 'is my di cassette going?'

Last time it drove just fine again ( withing the limits of its other problems ).

The only common issue to the problem was higher than average temps.

If there's been crap in the fuel, it might be worth replacing the fuel filter too. That solved a similar problem on my previous vehicle.

Check your air mass meter. It will give you the same symtoms as a faulty plug or wire and check engine light will not come on. anothe poss o2 sensor. Good luck papa

Thanks for the tip.

Funnily enough that was one item ( amm ) I had in mind.

It's the Bosch unit. Hot wire sensor IIRC. Can it simply be cleaned ( carefully ) ?

Graham

It may just be the electrical contact in AMM socket. I've had this in the past, it caused a lot of headache, but was simple to clean the socket. Try that before splashing out on a new AMM.

Hope this will help your right turns :-)
