while driving my teg I notice that every now and again it sort of dies a bit like its not getting gas. it only lasts for about a second and if I put the foot down it comes right, but its bloody annoying. I've just had the main relay resoldiered so it shouldnt be that. Any ideas where the problem might be?

 

try a can of engine restore...My old car would die out too..a friend told me to try that **** out and it helped the car run smoother...

my old car used to choke...or kinda like hiccup then I would freak and stomp on the gas...

does it do this all the time or only at certain points?

 

Im having the same problem where my car is about to shut down after I let off the gas....Took it to the dealer and had said its my o2 sensor gone bad... I take it in for service on monday....I let ya know if it fixes it.

 

im 95% sure its the fuel Filter.. how old is it ? try out a new one only should be 35.00 dollars max. you notice a difference.

 

pretty good chance the o2 sensor is bad also... but check fuel filter first since its the cheaper option.. but if the o2 sensor doesn't work, the engine is gonna have a hard time trying to keep idle cause it doesn't really know what kind a/f mixture to put in..

 

Its a 1990. I've recently had the o2 sensor replaced so should'nt be that. Cheers 4 the ideas

 

does it do this all the time or only at certain points?

It seems to only do it when the car is warming up. Like when the choke has turned off but the car is'nt fully warm yet.

 

Everytime I let off on the gas.
