i have a 2.0 8 valve an mine has a problem at the mo where it starts normal when cold but when it heats up it ticksover erratically i.e. it hunts between 2000-3000 revs ive changed plugs an leads an even the fuel filter also my mate whos got a astra mk4 decided to disconnect the afm an the car ran perfectly on a test run of 5-10 miles but as soon as we got back an reconnected the afm it conked out and would not start?  as if it had flooded leave it for 10 -15 mins an itstarts but runs rough an kicks out a lot of black smoke?? an then clears an runs okish for a bit..this fault has only come in the last few days after a family holiday down to poole an nearly runnin outa fuel on the m5 due to rain causing traffic jams an me refusing to pay motorway prices for fuel..could i have crap in the fuel lines???

i got turned from the darkside(ford) after getting my mondeo ghia x smashed up by an asian woman with no licence an driving her sons company car!!!..so i bought a 2.0 veccy upon recommendation from my best mate an this year decided i wanted something that was big an comfortable as i`m a big bloke an me mate makes me look skinny an liked the look of the miggy so i thought why not an i aint regretted it yet even with the teething troubles everyone gets with new or used motors..all i want now is to get the bodywork upto scratch an sort the dreaded rust round the doors out...
