Title: Car is hunting as if there's not enough fuel
Post by: curtisg40 on June 17, 2011, 11:18:03 PM
Started the G up this morning and the car was hunting really badly as if there wasn't enough fuel but I have a quarter of a tank, I once had this problem but it was when I drove over a really high drain and a blue cable came out of the clips underneath but I've checked that and it's all ok , can anyone shed any light to my dilemma.

Thanks

unplug your blue water temp sensor then see how it runs.
