[urq] Return of the gremlins

[Maurits Jonkergouw]

Hi list, exactly one year ago I had the same problems with my car: #3 or #4 cylinder is not working or somehow not like it should. Last year suddenly the problem dissappeared without really knowing why.

This is what happened: a few days ago I noticed a slight hesitate in 2-3rd gear coasting 2000 RPM, on accel the hesitate was gone, but the next day it started to hesitate on accel also. It came with a muffled sound from the intake like there was something really wrong, together with the sound and feel of the missing cylinder of course. This morning the engine started ok but after a few minutes/miles, it starts hesitating and eventually missing a cylinder again and the fuel gauge says 20-30-40-50 liter/100 km while doing 20-30km/h ! It could be a fuel flooding CSV, but it feels more like the lack there of.

Any clues of what might be wrong, I'm pulling my hair this time... 


PS I'll report some test results later. Is it save to drive with only 4 cylinders for 25 km? I'll have to bring my baby home...

Thanks
