Right i have two main problems and believe they may be linked,
Firstly;
since i bought the car ive had problems starting my car, when i turn the key i get a noise as though the car is trying to start up, but feels as though there is nothing there. If i put a little throttle on this problem is ussually overcome and starts fine. This problem is intermitent(sp) and doesn't seem to be affected by them weather, (get this problem in summer and winter).
My second problem:
is that when i put my clutch down my revs drop rapidly and below the iddle point, once or twice i have had the engine light glow and it feels as though the car is trying to stall as im driving along, this problem worsens if i have driven the car hard. I sometimes get this when i start the car in neutral, the car will start i take my foot off of the throttle and then the revs drop very low and sometimes stalls. Also when i blip the throttle when the car is sat in neutral, the revs go up then down past the iddle and levels off at neutral (and again has stalled doing this once before).
I think it may be one of two things after discussing with the lads at work, first guess is that it is the iddle control valve (similar problem to quiksilverTR), or something to do with fuelling, maybe the injectors or fuel pumps nakerd.
If you have any ideas as to what it could be please put em forward, pretty sick of it now.
Sorry about the long post guys, a little worried my pride and joys going to die on me, thanks for any help you can give me.
