As you are mostly aware, I have the 16v sei conversion.
This morning when I went to start it first thing it took a lot of turning over from the engine to get it started, after this it was fine.
After driving about 40 miles on it I nearly home and the car felt like it went onto 3 cylinders or even less!
I coasted into a layby where i sat and she wouldn't start. If i put my foot to the ground on accelerator and then turned her over i may eventually get 1000rpm but with the most hideous backfire and loud BANG from the exhuast every other second.
My dad towed it home, i left it for half an hour, she then started with a little persuasion and I drive her into the garage fine
The engine has a misfire anyway due to not having the exhaust sorted out and running on one lambda, but this surely must be a different problem?
Any ideas! Suffice to say my dad was not happy (not about the tow but about the problems with this car!) he even talked about getting me something else which i wasn't really interested in
Basically I need this car properly sorted - and soon.
