VTS enigine problems...

[croy-91]

When I got the car it had an idle problem and the boy told me it was the mass air flow sensor... Fair to say he was lieing.
Continued to drive it and the idle got worse, i can be driving along, dip the clutch and it cuts out so need to bump it/ start it again. Sitting at traffic lights it starts to shudder and the revs die and it cuts out unless i rev it. Also the engine seems holding back and not pulling anywhere near as good as it was in the past..... Think its overfuelling and been told it could be a burnt valve? HELP PLEASE!!! :(

Is the Engine management light on?Get a compression test,or try a new coil pack.

Change your crankshaft sensor, I had this problem on my mk1 vts so I sold it to my mate cheap and went and bought a new vts lol. But my friend had the last laugh when it was only the crankshaft sensor that had caused it :(
