Title: engine runs sometimes on 5 cilinders only
Post by 24v96wagon on Apr 10^th, 2008, 4:25pm

THe engine of my cosworth ghia has 90.000 km's. Usually she runs smoothly and gives sufficient power. Sometimes, and at low throttle, she seems to run on 5 cilinders only. On idle, the whole car shakes. Pickup is bad at those occasions.
I renewed sparks and sparkplug cables, inlet manifold gaskets, checked for air leakage.
What else could be the reason?

Thanks for your help.

Try and find someone local from this site, who has an OBD lead and get it scanned for codes. Maybe a faulty HO (lambda) sensor or similar.
