hello fella's i'm new here so go easy on me.
i was refered here by someone on my other forum www.pontycruise.com
well here's my problem, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It came about yesterdaty as i was driving back from somewhere, the exhaust note got gradually louder and louder i thought it was just starting to blow, but then when i stopped at a set of lights the tick over dropped way lower than normal and the car was struggling to keep ticking over, i came to set off and it almost stalled, i had to proper boot it to pull away, when i did get moving i bet i didnt do past 40mph all the way home, it was really struggling!
here's what i've done so far:-
Changed the plugs - i checked all the plugs and the end 2 were fine however the middle 2 were black (unburnt petrol) i fitted the new plugs and it hasnt made a bit of difference, if anything, it's worse.
anyone got any idea what it could be?
i'm thinking injectors myself?
cheers for reading
my car is a 1.2 Clio 1998 Mk2 Phase 1 (8 Valve)
