G40 idling problems

[sohailG40]

Right where do i start.

Whilst driving along my G40 decided to cut out on me, it struggled to restart but finally when it did she wouldnt hold idle.

After giving her another attempt she adled for around 30seconds and decided to cut out again.

I am stumped & don't know what to do as the G40 was running fine without skipping a beat.

Where do i start & what do i check?

Has anyone suffered the same symptoms?

Thanks in advance.

First things first, are you getting fuel pressure?

Then I'd start checking ignition components; starting with earth straps, leads, plugs, distributor, coil, and of course all associated connectors etc

Then move onto idle adjustment settings, though if its suddenly stopped working then its more likely to be a component failure so there'll be no need to check anything in this area.

Once started does or can the engine rev at all?

Thanks for your reply.

Once the car starts up with the throtle open she revs fine, although when you release the throtle it will cut out and wont hold idle.

check the alternator voltage too - if its low if might cause issues and obviously if booted will generate more leccy.

Blue temp sender can cause stalling..

[sohailG40]

funny enough talking about that blue temp sensor
ive just replace that today its made has made it a bit better when im driving but when at a stop the car still cut out once or twice much better than before tho
could it be the fuel fillter coz that is one part which i have not changed yet?

thank you for your reply 

[PeteG40]

can;t hurt - i think fuel filters should be replaced about evey 60k from memory

[sohailG40]

hey guys guess wot i was doing my fuel filter to day
and i found out that the rubber hoes that cums of the fule pump in to the filter had the tinyest pin prik in it

i have changed the fuel filter and fuel pipe and i will test it tomarrow so fingers crossed hopefuly that will sort my problem

i will let you guys no how it went

thanks
