Well I though I\'d had my quota of bad karma this quater what with the firework incident and all, but NO! Imust have broken thousands of mirrors or something!

Driving (yes I\'m back driving) back from supermarket today, car won\'t hold an idle, stalls everytime I stop. Finally gave up the ghost as I got within 25 yds of the house. Anyone got any ideas?

If someone says rebuild time I\'ll scream as it was only done 4k ago!

Please give me some good news! :(

now that is a thought, especially as she is running rich on the stock ECU at the mo. Also the cold start mode seems to stick on for about 20 mins which can\'t help!

Please let it be the plugs! :(

Bridgeport and stock ecu - tell me what thats all about again?! You cant expect the poor thing to work right with totally inadequate management, I\'m surprised Tim hasnt asked for it back! :rollin

Hope its some thing simple and is fixed soon dude.

it\'s a work in progress Rich! The ECU was to be done in the new year with bigger injectors and fuel pump. Problem with self employment is you can have some serious cash flow problems :rollin

Tim nearly wouldn\'t give him his car back!!! Come on mark... The Microtech is just sat there waiting... it\'s even got your name on it... go on... there\'s a good bridge port owner... that\'s right... bring it down one day next week.... it\'s so easy... so simple... how can you resist all the power... go on... you know you want to.

Ah Ha... I\'ve worked it out! The car feels unloved... you blew all the cash for the engine managment system, turbo and radiator on getting married.... MARRIED!! I ask you what kind of a fool goes and does a thing like that when they have far more pressing issues at hand!!?? It\'s on the drive Mark!! It needs your love and attention, it\'s even becoming incontinent! It\'ll start starving itself and rocking backwards and forwards in the corner soon. It\'s just a matter of time, I\'ve seen it happen before.
