2.1L EFI Stalling Woes

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi folks,
Hoping you can help. My 1990 2.1L petrol EFI T3 has started randomly lurching and stalling. It starts up fine and then intermittently whilst driving it lurches to a near standstill like it has lost all power before suddenly kicking back in. At junctions it will sometimes stall. Otherwise it's brilliant and has only done 72k from new. I have had the mass airflow sensor tested ( it's ok), fitted a new fuel filter and have run out of ideas. I'm not the best mechanic so if its electrical any suggestions or recommended specialists around the Cornwall/Plymouth are would be greatly appreciated - thanks.

	looks like that what it says - I have some odd 2.1MV electrical spares if you get really stuck.
