rough

I rebuilt the engine some months ago, rebuilt the carb too. But since the rebuilt the engine runs unstable at idle. I have to keep rpm above 2000rpm so the engine keeps running. When I try to reduce the idle it enters into a cycle where it goes up to 2200-2000rpm and down to 1600-1400 rpm and...

Hi all, Please can anyone confirm the coil pack order on the Megane R26? I had my spark plugs changed last week but I'm not sure the mechanic took notice of the order of the coil pack. The car is now vibrating like mad and I can feel it through all the pedals, even when idle. The higher the...

Anybody have experience with the 1.5 dci lumps?? (Well i know a few of you will have :D) Just bought a clio dci 65 for a bargain price today. The issue i have is rough idle - but no warning lights on dash, pulls well with plenty of power - not bellowing out smoke and starts ok from cold. Not...

Hi, I recently had a uprated fuel pump fitted and think it may be the cause, its got a rough idle now and seems like it wants to cut out, and low revs under 2k it has a judder when I try to accelerate, could this be because the fuel/air mixture would be changed now due to uprated high pressure...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to diagnose/fix a rough idle and dismal fuel economy (about 15mpg or 15L/100km) on my 1996 Renault 19 1.8L 8V. Previously replaced a cold air intake hose which was broken for some time (undiscovered). In trying to diagnose the problem, I tried checking what I believe...

Hi All, my first post here. But definitely not last - all due to an old POS R5 from 1993 with 1.4 SPI engine, to which I'm emotionally attached and not going to get rid of ever. Biggest problem I have currently is the engine. Symptoms: - idles between 800rpm and 1400rpm - quite smooth in the...

Well i idles ok, changed the spark plugs, cap and rotor arm look ok, its not so bad (ok) under load, but about 2,000/3,000 rpm starts kangroo'ing/missing/spluttering (seems worse when warm) so much you have to change down gear or put your foot down (not much of an option in a 30pmh speed limit!)...

Been having some problems with the running of the car. Between 1-1.5k rpm the car is jumpy and stutters a bit. After this and on part throttle goes ok, if you put your foot right down then it sounds like the car hits a rev limiter but it still accelerates albeit not as fast. Fitted new...

Hi! Just got my hands on a R19 16v that hasn´t been running for 3 years. It starts fine but idles a bit rough (jumps beetween ~900-950 rpm) and during warmup i´t stalls without warning (it runs fine then just dies). After stalling I just have to start it up again and it runs fine, then it...

Hi everyone, I have a Megane coupe 1.6, 1997 which runs fine for 5 mins and then runs very rough as if on 3 cylinders. Can anyone help please?

Hey everyone, wondered if you could help diagnose the problem with my Valver. I've noticed a few times when I first start her she runs rough and sometimes tries to stall. Kinda of like a chug-chug-chug sound and then she'll flicker into life. No problems starting her though. Then when driving...

Euro Style / German alloy wheel guide Smooth cleaned cars with small wide wheels and very low suspension ....less is more in this game. It's very much like the UK scene some cars are OTT, others are perfect Specs Most german style wheels fit a clio because they have a 4x100 PCD..... the main...
