lumpy lean running 1.6gti

Been trying to sort out a misfire problem for a while now car will start fine no worries but is really slow to rev up and sounds like it's missing all over the place

Had the plugs out the ends look very pale no soot no black deposits which suggests lean Running

New parts include
Fuel pump
Fuel relay
Fuel filter
Plugs
Leads
Cap
Rotor arm

Is the missing and farting related to lean fuel or ignition/ coil problems
Does anyone in the Farnham/ Guildford area know what's going and fancy an expenses paid trip to have a listen and look. I need to get the car to Cornwall and back in 4 weeks time for my wedding.
Please help!!!  i

Poor bloke, I feel for you mate. I wish I knew the answer for you but I don't.

Did you already install those parts or are they waiting to be installed?

Have you a Haynes manual or anything?

Bump for you  :)

think it would be worth having a look in the fuel injection pages in the technical section on the left of the screen.  it has some trouble shooting tips in there and tells you how to adjust the mixture etc.  may also be worth checking your injectors to make sure there not blocked or something.  i'm no expert on this sort of stuff but thats what i would do :wink:

The fuelling is adjusted using a long 3mm allen key on a recessed screw between the metering head and the rubber elbow for the air intake. Clockwise is richer, and anti-clockwise is leaner.

Does it run rough when it's hot as well as cold?
