    Hey

    I was driving last night with no problems, revvs were fluctuating a bit between about 700 and 1000 but no other issues. Also i had my car looked over by Eric at A2Zed 2 days ago and he said its fine (minor oil leak but nothing serious) and so i went out this morning, car started, like it clicked over fine, engine was running for about 2 seconds then slowly died. I took out the keyes, waited a few seconds and tried again, and again it started, ran for about 2 seconds and died.

    Does anyone know why this could be happening? and what I need to do to fix it? Any help is very much appreciated thanks

    your car has vac leaks, hence the fluctuating idle and stalling after starting.

    refer to the tech section, look up "boost leaks" follow the boost leak procedure, tighten and replace what needs doing, and report back.

    I dont have any diagnostic equip here lol. So probs couldnt give any error codes. I have taken a look under the hood and looked at what i could and nothing seems oout of order. A mate told me to check fuel pump fuse but thats all good. I was thinking of going to ZedCare in my area to check it out.

    Another thing to check would be the PTU if it's series 1. But that will show up on diag :)

    Maybe an AFM issue? Or corroded connector somewhere?
