KKtrips Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sounds like an air leak - make sure the manifold and carburettor bolts are tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Did you connect power to your anti diesling soleniod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 sweet ill try all that out. but now it has a little problem like when you take off its like its straving for fuel and you look like your bunnyhopping haha but once you get to high revs it runs like normal? if it helps this only started after the first time i have washed the car? but it has been in the rain since i got it?

Corbie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Did you connect power to your anti diesling soleniod? Check this. Had a similar problem with my A15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have no clue what that is tbh haha and I haven't touched any wires since I've got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 On the back of the Carb (closest to firewall) there will be a solenoid with a single black wire coming out of it. check to see that you get voltage to it when you start the car. alternatively take it off. remove spring and needle thing and put the solenoid back and start the car. if problem persists its something else.
