Non 4x4 engine help pleaseeeeee!

(1/5) > >>

Yoshi:
Ive got me new renault 19 16v and have been playing with it for a week now.  Put some fuel in at Tesco before and it started becoming really sluggish.  The symptoms are like that of a turbo diesel thats turbo has gone tits up and then there is stuttering as well.  Then for about 10 seconds it will run properly again, but then it will run sluggish again for another few minutes.

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW its a 1993 K-reg Phase 2 R19 16v F16.IE engine.

wing nut:
try changing your fuel filter .... just a thought it may be blocked ,had the same symptoms on my suzuki 8-[

ben_haynes:
yes like wing nut says change fuel filter

Sounds like an induction leak. Try spraying some carb cleaner around the base of the carb. If it runs better then it needs the gasket replacing. I had a Renault 21 that had your problem. For some reason, the bolts securing the carb would loosen

The 19 16v is multipoint injection, the card models, (all, 5,11,21,25) had issues with the inlet manifold warping and the carb not, and thus you used to add shims under the carb to level it out and re-seal it,

I agree with the basis though, bit of WD or Carbcleaner around will see if there is an air leak (the revs will rise).
