daveyc123 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hi, perhaps this is a long shot, but I am currently stuck in picton, my car (Mazda b2200) is stalling at idle and is surging at revs. I was supposed to be heading north tonight but I managed to change my crossing to tomorrow evening. I can drive the car but it's really not right. And didn't want to get stranded up north is there any kind Christmas spirited soul who could help with diagnosing the problem or even fix it? Beers cash and my eternal gratitude for anyone that can save my holiday, also I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I can be contacted on 0273995519 if it is easier, thank you. I can drive so can come to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'm in Nelson (1.5 hours drive) and could possibly head over to help. Is it a petrol engine? My very first thought was a blocked fuel filter... but I don't think there is a repco or anything in Picton but I may be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveyc123 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I changed the fuel filter about a month ago. It's a 2.2 petrol. I have a new fuel pump tho I'm not sure that it is the correct one as I can't see a mechanical pump in the engine bay? I have a few basic tools I could possibly get to nelson tho I'm a bit nervous about driving to far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysickness Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Keep us updated as I could meet you halfway somewhere and bring tools/multimeter/compression tester etc but would need to organize a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sidewaysickness Posted January 7, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 It was no problem at all! Thanks for the beers. Great to hear that it gave you trouble free motoring For anyone reading it came down to excessively worn points. So new points, cap and rotor was just the ticket... after going through the whole debacle with super cheap on is it a mazda or is it a Ford. Mazda caps are screw on, Ford caps are clip on. Daves Mazda B2200 had a clip on cap of course. Good times! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
