Engine Splutter/Misfire?
« on: October 13, 2010, 07:39:39 pm »
Hello, I recently brought a mk4 polo with a g40 engine in it.

When we brought it the bloke told us, when you have been in boost then drive normally again the car will all of a sudden splutter/misfire.

On the way driving back after picking it up we drove normal then give it some. As we went to pull out of a turning it julted and carried on to do so every 5 - 10 seconds. It would only do this after boost, not before or whilst in boost.

I was told that the timing could be out and someone also said it could be running to lean (neither were 100% sure not having tested it themselves).

Could anyone please help

Thanks, James
