mk2 vr6

can anyone help? i've a mk2 vr6 and every now and again the engine just cuts out completly whilst being driven! there was a mistake at the local petrol station where some diesel got into the unleaded tanks and i happen to catch the remaining mixture of them both. Is that the problem or is it more serious than that?

 

that could be the proble,..... Did you drain you tank and clean all the fuel filter.

It also could be electical but go with your gut instinct first.

 

have you got the odb port on ecu from vr6?

 

haven't drained tank but put fuel system cleaner through it. the fuel filter is new so shouldn't really be problem.

 

where would the obd port be? under the passenger side of the dash board?

 

Does it cut out when being driven hard, or just at random. Fast driving (full throttle) cut-out is more likely to be fuel starvation.

I hope the dumb-ass local petrol station is paying.

 

it mostly cuts out when doing slow speed and low revs!!! could it be faulty ht leads?

 

try some fuel injection cleaner,it should clean it through or give it a good thrash to clean it,i had oil in mine when i used me mate jerry can and run crap so i give it a good what for and it was perfect after!if not then try your ignition testing,spark etc
