Hi Folks
My daughter's 1994 Tropic has started losing power intermittently, leading to the kangaroo petrol symptoms. She had to be brought home on the back of an AA lorry when it happened on the motorway. We have replaced the lambda sensor, plugs, distributor cap, leads, and fuel and air filter, but it still does it. There is no stalling, cutting out, or high revs as some others have mentioned on here - just this intermittent loss of power. It goes lovely for 10-15 minutes, then starts kangarooing, and then suddenly picks itself back up again, and seems fine.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to fix this (as cheap as possible - this has cost a lot already, and my daughter is a Uni student with very little dosh!) we'd be really grateful.
