Hey guys,
Just been having a bit of trouble with my 106, this morning it started fine but stalled once to twice and felt a bit rough. Stopped off for some petrol and from then on it just wouldn't idle, the second my foot was off the gas the rpm's plummeted and the car stalled! I managed to keep it going by keeping my foot on the gas to keep it at about 1-2k rpm.
Also the engine was lacking power, I couldn't hit 50 mph in 4th and I was even loosing speed on a slight incline when I put the pedal to the floor.
Now a few hours later and it's running like a dream! Any ideas? Someone suggested that the empty tank made it drag up some muck when has now cleared, and while there's been a LOT of possibilities from a google search nothing quiet sounds right, or matches with something I can find a in the Haynes manual.
It was very cold this morning ~8.30am and the windows were all frosty but when it really acted up the frost had melted. Could that be important? On the other hand it cleared up later when presumably the engine was cooler than after the 20minute drive.
Any help is very welcome!
