hi,
just bought my frist polo, its a white 1989 hatchback model C on an F plate. it had a bit of a miss fire when i frist drove it home so i checked the plugs and one of them was crodded,as was the leads. so i changed lead and plugs, i fitted copper leads, and GKN plugs. its sovled the problem, but and its BIG BUT .
i now i another problem. every now and again i start it up and try to pull away and its flat and wont drive any faster than 20 mph. i found if i pump the thoutle pedel it makes it go faster but as soon as i hold it in a steady postion it dies. any idea any one?
i found even at temprater the flap in the intake pipe is open and drawing in warm air from the manifold. could it mean the the auto chock is sticking on? is there away of making it a manel chock? or sovling my proplem? thanks for your help
i really need to fix it before the weekend as im drivng down to bristol.
