[QUOTE="chris86uk, post: 1208816, member: 18684"] Hi everyone, Right, all this has just happened so best to get it across while it's fresh in my mind. Car was last run two weeks ago and was running perfectly having just changed all the filters/plugs myself. Went outside this afternoon to give it a run; 1) Turned key, fuel pump sounded a little odd. 2) Started engine, fired up fine, revved up to 2k as usual, then revs fell to normal idle. 3) VERY slight misfire, revved slightly, seemed ok. 4) Moved forward a few feet, started to splutter. 5) Blipped throttle to try to clear splutter. 6) Cut out. So, I started up again, fired up, 1k idle, then splutter, 500rpm idle, 300rpm, cut out. I left it for a few minutes while thinking :sad: and :(:cry: before trying again. This time it fired up and idled normally for a few seconds before I tried to move it, but as I touched the throttle it just died again. Eventually managed to get it back a few feet onto my driveway by starting and planting my foot as soon as it fired but then just spluttered out again. Any advice would be [B][SIZE=2]VERY greatly appreciated!![/SIZE] [/B]Thanks Chris [/QUOTE]
