Hi,
New to the forum and new to Puma's, Wanted a car that I could use to get to work and with some mild mod's the occasional track day as local to Brands Hatch so the Puma fitted the bill, Found a car that was structurally in good condition, wheel arches, floor etc all good, The car would not idle properly but put this down to the usual ICV or Maf sensor, Engine is smooth once above idle and seems to have plenty of power, Got it home and cleaned both sensors to no avail, replaced both with parts from a working car and still the same, It starts up first turn and idles perfectly for about 5 mins then dies as soot as you hit the gas at all it will then fail to idle again unless left for a while, anyone had similar problems, I have ordered an obd reader however there are no management lights showing, Checked spark at all plugs was wondering if fuel pump could cause this. any help appreciated as it's driving me nuts
