Mk2 gt engine problem
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2015 7:56 pm
Hi ,,my 1987 gt has developed the following issue.
It has been running rough for a while quite lumpy with a misfire for the first 20 minutes or so then was running fine.
I don't use the car every day but tonight I started it up and left it ticking over for a few minutes and it was revving with a bit of a misfire through the Rev range,,I then turned off the engine and tried to start it ten minutes later and it was turning over but wouldn't start then a loud bang came from the exhaust and a spark from some where near the carb.
Now when I try and start it the car just turns over till I get the spark coming from the engine and/ or a loud bang from the exhaust.
Car is running standard carb and a jetex stainless exhaust.
my initial thought was a fueling problem but I'm not that great with engines.
Any ideas guys????
Thanks
Danny
