Help needed - 1999 Aerodeck 1.8 VTI - Cuts out when accelerating

[Kit]

Hello All, 

 

1999 Aerodeck 1.8 VTI 

 

I could really use some fresh ideas.

 

Situation: Driving down the M4 - car was nice and warm - cruising along steadily. Revs start dropping when accelerator is pressed - pulled into services.

Parked up and let idle, idle was rough, tried to pull away, revs dropped when accelerating - stalled. Re-start, starts fine, revs high then drops all the way to stalling. 

 

Historical problem: Past few months - once the car is warm - then stopped - then started again - it will occasionally hesitate / bog when accelerating - Coil pack?

 

Car was recovered to a garage I use, they have looked at it and no ideas. They are getting an auto electrician to investigate. 

 

Could it be: blocked Cat? Coil pack? distributor?

 

Any help appreciated. Cheers, Kit

The Thread is 12 months old so I doubt you'll get a response from the original poster.

 

Could be any of the regular suspects already mentioned.

 

If it were me ....I'd start by cleaning all engine earths.

I had a similar problem with my VTi, there was a whole thread of the above suggested. 

unfortunately it's not an easy one!

I had a similar problem and ended up replacing the dizzy, then I got rid of the car and bought a Unicorn instead
