Hey wish I could give you technical advice but right now I know nothing. I am going to wish you luck with it though and say keep the faith

Re: 1990 2.1 petrol water cooled won't idle

Thanks guys some useful pointers there for me to look at. No mechanical background but yes plan to get my hands dirty but do need guidance really. Would be nice if it was working for me a little though :)

Re: 1990 2.1 petrol water cooled won't idle

Ok so I've done some digging around and I think I know what's wrong. Also took it for another drive.
So it struggles when idle, it's now shuddering on acceleration and I've noticed the smell of fuel from the engine. I'm thinking it's miss firing, maybe a problem with the coil??? Or the wiring???

1990 2.1 petrol water cooled won't idle

Hi everyone. So I'm very new to this day 7 to be exact. I had my first breakdown and roadside recovery on the weekend. Bought my van to go on amazing climbing trips and now I'm starting to loose confidence in him :( My mechanic has managed to get him moving again (faulty wire) but he's not so great ...
