Just had a little problem pulling off..

Post by protek »

well i filled up at the petrol station, got half way home and when i go to pull away the car tried to stall. i had to give it loads of gas to try pull away all the way home, is there any common problems for this ? AND, before you ask. I DID use the correct petrol :lol:

I know it sounds simple but maybe try some redex... it worked wonders on my old corsa. And a 4th gear motorway run is also gd to clean out all the rubbish in there
