Almost cutting out, same problem more clues


Recommended Posts

Ok apologies for being in here every 5 minutes at the moment :P

Not long ago i had the almost cutting out thing, bunny hopping

Found a loose relay all seemed fine.

Well its done it twice more to me since, and rather embarassingly my Mrs has spotted what could be the issue

Every time it has done this the Fuel gauge has just been goin into the red

Did it this morning and i was close to a garage, put fuel in and absolutely fine

So it does seem like a fuel starvation issue, but its odd that its started doing it as ive driven it into the red plenty of times with no issues at all.

Im thinking maybe a bit of fuel cleaner maybe my first stop

Im hoping its not a pump or anything, (cant hear any whining etc)

once again any suggestions welcome!

Could be from running into the red and the pump, the petrol kind of acts like lubrication and coolant for it, but if you say you can't hear any whining then maybe not, as an aside for comparison mine makes a high pitched whirring whether empty or brimmed and never had any issue with it.

Excellent point about the filter, I've read many things that said changing the fuel filter has remedied bogging, stuttering etc, worth doing anyway as a matter of course so def worth doing anyway and could sort your issue.
