Ok... other people want to tie me I scared scared but since dl willing, I am more than happy. Only thing must find a rope strong enough to take all the torsion forces generated by our cars! [laugh]

 

Alternatively, u can sit in my car and rate my gearchange and give me tips to improve my driving skill. [:)]

I did think of that. Sitting as passenger while the other drove.

 

And we could take turns driving each other's car.... then you can appreciate how new your car is.

 

Gearchange....you DON'T want to change gears like me....or else you'll have to change your gearbox within 2-3 years [thumbsdown] and get a new clutch every 10 months [laugh]

Think I can concur that it is the fuel pump if the frequency was onli in the last 6 months. Too full a tank creates a adverse pressure on the pump, thus no fuel goes into the crank.

 

Try this, next time it happens, shake the car to get some fuel thru the lines to the engine....just might work... my 0.02c [:)]
