I don't really lnow much about cars but it might be one of the new sensors are dodgy? Can you test them anyway?

Could be your engine management. I don't have a rev counter on mine but if you rag it down the motor way it sounds like it's gonna cut out. If you rev it just a tiny bit it cuts out. I'm told mine is a prob with the engine management; gonna get it sorted before July before the war runs out.

Im thinking maybe its an alarm problem its the only common thing between the two engines

For no reason to. Was waiting for them to turn green and it just died. Tried to start it again but the starter motor just sounded like the battery was dead :o :o :o After about 5 goes it just turned over :lol: Fucking mad bastard :lol:
