yesterday my mate took my car for a spin and about halfway through the drive i noticed the car was having a problem down low. Once i got home the car was hunting at idle. I than disconnected the battery for the night and also tested the coils this morning and pulled out my plugs which were very carboned up. I than cleaned the plugs and also did a compression test with ok results and than put it all back together.

I than started the car with no difference whats so ever. I also replaced my z32 afm and recaled my emu to standard. I should note i cleaned out my aat valve about 2 weeks ago and was running fine. I than started the car and noticed idle was slightly better but not by much at all. I than took it for a drive were the car seemed to have issues going over 2000rpm. i than got it home and put some octane boost clean in the vehicle as we have had alot of water around and there has been rumours about water getting into fuel. I than let the car idle for about 30 minutes and found that the car became more responsive untill i went to go for a drive and found it would not accelerate at all. I managed to get it home and left the car sit for about an hour Now it wont even start it will fire up but than die. Any help for be very grateful.Thanks

I reinstalled the z32 afm and the car is running again but still very rough. It also seems to chewing the fuel as well i have a done a vac test around the engine bay and it doesnot affect it at all. I really hoping it something easy but im dreading it the engine

you only just put a bigger turbo, etc on didn't you? have you had a tune done yet? if not then it is probably running rich as anything and fouling up the plugs, and since you are running an emanage the ecu is probably still seeing excess airflow and backing the timing right off.

have you changed the injectors at all (or even just had them out)? may be that one isn't seated properly. could also possibly be a vaccum leak.
