Struggling to rev - DanWY - 12-05-2013
Hello
I am having trouble with my car, it struggles to rev and really judders. It's only started recently. Anyone have ideas as to what it could be. It's very annoying when it does it!
Cheers
Dan

Fuel filter? Touched anything on the pump recently?
RE: Struggling to rev - DanWY - 12-05-2013
I have changed the filter. Not messed with the pump. It's on a standard Lucas.
RE: Struggling to rev - DanWY - 12-05-2013
I've just drove the car home and it was horrible to drive, was very juddery and felt bogged down. The engine also cut out a few times. I'm stuck as to what it is. So any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Not checked the pickup filter. Yeah starts first time. I just put new glowplugs in. Not got any fuel leaks that I can see of.
RE: Struggling to rev - MartinL - 12-05-2013
have you had anyone plug it in? might have some silent codes.. never know. how long before it started running rough did you fill up? could be some bad fuel, had it before..
RE: Struggling to rev - DanWY - 12-05-2013
It's only started over the last couple of days. Full tank in it, was pretty close to the orange zone before I filled up. I changed the filter as thought it was that but it's still doing it. It's on an S(98) model so not sure if it can be plugged in.

urghh i blame lack of sleep, no concentration
but its getting fuel to start, so maybe a faulty pump?
RE: Struggling to rev - Dicky - 12-05-2013
Mine did this, I changed fuel filter, intank pump, injector seals and found out I had 2 f*cked injectors
RE: Struggling to rev - DanWY - 13-05-2013
Cheers Dicky. I'll look at them next. Will bosch injectors work with the Lucas pump?
RE: Struggling to rev - DanWY - 13-05-2013
Just to add some more info to this.
I have replaced the fuel filter housing now thanks to Karl1989 after breaking mine stupidly.
However the car seems to be getting alot of air bubbles in the fuel line that leads from the top of the housing to the fuel inlet on the pump. I can see them as its see through hose on there. Also the car idles ok before starting to be very erratic and drops down very low on the revs and then dies. It also does this while the car is been driven and will suddenly cut out and then struggle to start.
I'm at a loose end now and don't know what is causing it.
Thanks
