hi guys. ive had a misfire on my vtr for a while now but it seems to be an intermittent misfire, itll be fine for a week then itll come back. went to work today and plugged it in to the diagnostic and only one dtc came up - ?1819 unknown dtc; open circuit or short to ground. not sure wether these are related but something needs to be done.
just a litte description of the symptoms..
well first it idles rough and lumpy. itll idle at about 800rpm, judder its dooda's off then rev itself to say 1200rpm the drop to 800 again.
if im in say 3rd gear doing 30 and i go to put my foot down, itll bog down for a second then itll jolt me foward and pick up speed.
also when im going round corners it will bog down till im back on a straight and itll be fine again :wacko:
symptoms point to fuel pump but i just want to hear everyone else's opinion first, thanks in advance :) martin.
