On my car whenever i put my accerlator right to the floor the engine will flood and i will lose pretty much all power. any ideas on how to fix this??

Sounds funny. Something electrical id have thought.

Im sure someone else will shedmore light onto the matter.

Is the air filter clean, and check that the pipes arent blocked up. That would cause bogging.

ive been checking this out on the internet and i have a feeling it could be down to the carburetor being dirty or something. anyone any ideas???

Mite be your fuel filter?...

They dont have carburettors mate. Its injection.

Take off your air filter all its pipework. Put a new filter element in it, and while you have the hoses off check the throttle body.

is it only when the engine is under load??

mine did this but turned out to be the spark plugs, they were shagged to say the least
