Title: Calling Baz
Post by johnv on Feb 24^th, 2005, 7:16pm

Hey I said Baz did'nt I.
Still if you can help with this, I don't mind you peeping.
Baz, when you got your silver cosworth, you had a bit of rough running.
So what was it that put your car right please.
My cosworth 60,000 miles, does the exact the same.
But it going great at this time.
Most of the time its great but just when you have forgotten all about it, it rears its ugly head.
If sort of misfiring, but very slight, but when you are driving, you can feel it.
Its only on the open road not bumperling around town.
If you can put your finger on this for me, it would be real good.
Thanks.

Sorry John, been down the pub and just logged in.

To be perfectly honest....I don't know is the answer. I ran the OBD and that indicated a faulty EGR or an air leak somewhere but after I bought a second hand EGR from pvscars, the problem stopped. Haven't had the symptoms for over 4000 miles now. I haven't changed the EGR either so maybe it was just the threat of it!! Still the spare one is all nice and shiny and ready to go just in case

No more OBD codes either so something must have righted itself after all
