Hi Guys & Gals,
This problem has been getting worse over the last couple of weeks,when ever i take my foot off the throttle, it will splutter and cut out, but not everytime, takes 2 or 3 good goes to get it started again,but will only do it when its warmed up,anything above tickover and it doesnt miss a beat,also its a pig to start while its still warm/hot, dont know whether its connected or not.
any ideas or suggestions most welcome many thanks in advance

Hi,
must be a fuel leak on the injector side, have a look for signs of leakage on the block drivers side. They are a b***** to find.

Have a look at my topic " stalling only after a long run ".
Give your fuel cap a good wash in hot, soapy water then rinse and dry thoroughly.
May help, seriously, if not at least it'll be nice and clean :D

Sounds the same as my injector pump input shaft seal fault. PM me if you want to know more or have a search through some of my previous posts.

A dirty filter.
New filter is a cheap way to start.
