16v running problems



Have you checked the main pump and the fuel accumulator as possible faults?
I guess even bad grounds could come into play as well as maybe some bad
fuel.  How much fuel have you run through the car since it started acting
up?  Fuel filter is also a good place to check.  After changing my filter
once I had the same problem, I basicly just punch the car till the bucking
quit and the air or whatever got blown out of the system.  Pump relay will
get warm so thats kinda normal.
