Hi all,

Ihave my ADL in my mk3 now, just a few issues still remain,

Firstly im stuck with the normal idle issue caused by the ISV etc.

Secondly when i accelerate every now and again i get little to no power and i can hear the engine sucking shed loads of air in and thats all so im assuming that its not sparking cause when i let off then touch of throttle im getting an almighty KADLAM and flames out the exhaust about 2-3 feet long, its like driving my old Polo Gt when it had bike carbs,

Its just had new plugs, leads, dizzy and rotor. Wondering could this be coil related or something else?

Firstly i thought it could be no fuel pressure but then it will sort its life out and drive spot on.

Any help appreciated.

James
