I had a problem last week which I thought was to do with the ISCv valve. This problem has now gone away but I'm now left with a petrol leak. I thought there maybe a problem with an injector or the fuel rail so I have stripped the inlet manifold to gain access to the injectors and fuel rail. No signs of a petrol leak there but when the ignition is switched on and i can see petrol squirting from a component which I not sure what it is. It is located in the middle of the 6 inlets and is under the inlet manifold and secured to the engine. It is like a large mushroom with a tiny hole in the middle

Hi, I maybe on the wrong part of the forum as the car in question is a Galaxy AAA engine which i beleive is the VR6. The car runs fine when on the motorway and will accerate with no problem at all. As soon as you put your foot on the clutch to change down a gear it wil die. I wondered if it may have anything to do with the throttle body but as it runs ok on the motorway I think that it would be ok. Does the AAA engine have an ISCV and where will it be located on the engine? The only thing I can think of when I started the car yesterday was it pumped quite a bit of petrol into the engine before

Hi, I went to start the car and it took ages to catch and when it did it ran for a few seconds then what I could only describe as a backfire happened. Since this happened the engine will cut out if you take your foot from the accererator pedal. It will drive happily down the motorway without a problem but will cut out all the time in traffic when coming to a stop. Had the RAC out to look at this with no luck. I need to get this sorted as I work 200 miles away from home and need to get back. Thanks
