right ok, i bought this car as a project basically, it was over heating, not charging and needed body repairs, this is the only bit ive got left. i know for a fact its mechanically sound so its all electrical. when i start her up she sounds flooded so spluters, if you floor her (in nutral) she coughs and splutters and struggles to get past 3 grand, if your gentle the floor it, it will go to about 6 but burbling and makes popping sounds wen you ease off. hope this help. anything ive missed just leave abuse and ill include it in the next post :thumbs: many thanks

Sounds like it's sucking in air somewhere. Or it could be a dodgy AFM??
