Well for almost a year now my Saxo VTS 1998 (50,000miles) has been over fueling/running rich and erratic.
The erratic tendencies (stalling, searching for idle and sending plumes of white smoke(Fuel) out the exhaust) have appeared to be fixed with one of the more recent jobs listed below carried out by my local citroen agent
The car now is still running rich and has poor throttle response and a bit of delay. the car does however still perform well at high revs.
while over fueling the car also shudders a little while sitting at he lights - just enough to feel through the seat and steering wheel, but not enough to stall or search for idle.
the following has been carried out over the last year or so since the problem started. Is there anything you think i may have missed - i am starting to get desperate now anything you may have to offer would be greatly appreciated!!!!
The car is located in New Zealand. Nobody here knows much about Saxo's and parts are very hard to come by. As you could imagine this has been an expensive experience!!
