that's a whole new ball game , 2 thing's to do ,,,1 check for oil in the rad header tank , where you top up collant/anti freeze,,,2 pull the dip stick & check for water in the oil .

 

yes it could be head gasket

My car is always doing things like this in wet weather - but soon reverts back to normal -'firing on two cylinders' (whatever that means - and incidentally only has 3 just in case you think it should have 4)  

 

I had to lift the bonnet this morning - I think thats the first time I've done it in the 8 years I've had the car, batteries don't last forever - I had to get a new one today but needed a jump start to get to the garage

[just ask me]

air flow meter is my guess  :-/

[gulkie]

on top of your manafold you will see landprobe with a wire comiing off it £10 bet it will be that,

[david.j]

think you will have to get it plugged into diagnostics chances are the exhaust gadgees have knocked a sensor somewhere

what will i do to it mate

[david.j]

if any sensor is faulty or knackered it tells the engine management to cut power down so you cant flog it about and cause more damage

[Guest puresoontjen]

yes the landprobe it regulates the air and fuel

THAT'S A DIFFERENT TALE , it could be the LAMBDA sensor that hasen't been replaced right , its a device all to do with gase's .

 

[ch pied]

What's keeping ye , get the spanyard's out & get it sorted .

check the wires are one the landprobe. to find this look under your bonnet look for the exhust follow it up to the engine and you will see it most of the time there on the top  so you can see them. some are underneith thats when fitter of the exhust brake the ends off or pull the wires,
