i know this is not exactly on topic given im driving a 940 but you guys have always been really helpfull and it semms to be a more general thing since i know a few people have had this complaint in several different cars - including my dads 2 year old land rover!?!
anyway...
as we speak im havin a new oil pump fitted since it couldnt generate enough pressure on low revs
i dont think this is connected but intermitently when im driving along in different circumstances ie sometimes motorway sometimes turning a corner etc, everything dies,
i have my foot on the accelertor and nothing happens all the power goes i change gear release accelertor press brakes etc and nothing just keep slowing down then as suddenly as it started it stops and the car picks up again, and away we go. as if nothing had ever happened
occasionaly the car slows right down into a stall and its hard to get it going again
the simplest way to describe this is as if someone stands on a garden hose and then takes their foot off it again if u see what i mean. thats how it feels.
:bricks:
ive had my mechanic have a look and he cant see anything out of place, and as its so intermitent he cant test,
its happened to me twice on the motorway and its gonna cause an accident so i need to troubleshoot this guys help!??!
i thought flooding or starvation of something,
or possible a vacumm leak?? :slap:
car is 1991 940 estate B200F non turbo engine
