stalling..you say.

does it stall when warm, or at any time?

i think you really need to read the codes, you could go do it now, and report back!

no, wheres the diagnostic socket? not familiar with the engines im afraid

solarman216 · 31-01-2013, 21:57

it is a 14 pin socket under the drivers side fuse/relay board, holding the socket with the chamfers to the right, link the bottom two left hand pins for 2 seconds then count the flashes on the engine check light 5 plus 5 is no codes found, come back with any other numbers you get, Rick

Welcome Mate. The 2.4 is a cracking engine. Mine has full service history (I have every every invoice from new) but it still felt a.bit flat.

I gave it a right good service changed distributor cap, rotor Arm, leads, plugs were fitted new last service, air filter, and I have a fuel filter to fit after I have cleaned the fuel system.

Now pulls to red line easily, with gobs of torque.

I will try the things Rick has suggested above on mine too.

Got absolutely loads of jobs I want to carry out, but I can't find the spate time at the moment.

I hope you get it sorted soon, so you can really start enjoying it.

Brian.

Cheers rick and brian, will try reading codes today, and also look at servicing those parts.
it only seems to cut out on occasion when 1st started, and the engine light will flash.
roars nicely but although will chug happily up hills slow in low gear, has no guts up long ones in higher gears

£20 buys about 15 lts = 3.29 gallons = @50 miles about 15 to the gallon but double that on dual carriage way= 30mpg so something is wrong with your numbers cos you will be hard put to get any T2 to do 30, and at 15 you must have a lead foot, Rick

solarman216 · 01-02-2013, 20:49

also if the engine light flashes then there will be a fault code, you must read this to get anywhere, Rick

MPG can really only be judged by brim to brim filling and noting the milage done between fills.
Fuel gauge is non linear.
As said before you need the codes
