Kangarooing K10

[Darren1977]

Hi everyone...

Last year I bought a 1989 K10 1.0 auto (pre face lift with 12inch wheels) - I guess this is an MA10 engine.

She was serviced 2 months ago, and has a respectable 65k

Quite sadly, she appears to be unwell.

My journey to work is 4 miles of National speed limit roads (quite a nice drive really). When the engine is cold, the car is fine...

However, when warm, she starts to Kangaroo when we are going up hill. This is as though there is no fuel in the car.

She has stalled once or twice aswell, which I'm afraid I can't be blamed for.

Before I start spending loadsa cash on unneccessary spare parts, Has anyone got any suggestion what I should be looking for??

Well first of all make sure you have enough water in the radiator and that you bleed the cooling system when filling with half coolant half water (im saying this because it jerks when warm). After that try fuel filter, plugs and leads....
