Back Firing and Air
Could anybody please help me, my car is currently back firing and it also seems that it is drawing air in somewhere which is causing a blockage in his fuel lines. The engine is a 1.1, when driving him he seems fine but then when you change gears it feels like you are applying the brakes then when you try and give him some more gas he just cuts out. After a few minutes of waiting you try him again and he will tick over again until today he just wont start.
I am at a lost if anybody could advise me as to what they think the problem could be that would be great.
Many Thanks
Peg

And no matter how much Tafy does my head in I cant bring myself to kick him however I have hurt my foot because I did kick the damn fence….
