Misfire, no power - K11 Super S

[RichSuperS]

Bought myself an Super S tonight. Took it for a test drive, no problems at all, drove really well. Paid for it, driving back home, when suddenly the car starts violently jerking and has no power. Let the car cool down, and tried driving again. Was okay for about half a mile, starts jerking again. So I have left it parked on the side of the road.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

That's either your lambda or the MAF needs soldering due to dry joints

it could be the coil breaking down rich, is the car stranded ?

Could possibly be the distributor if it's the same problem i had.

£20 from scrappers dude.
The only other thing i can think of that hasn't already been mentioned is a cracked spark plug or damaged spark lead.

A mate has picked the car up and towed it too his farm. I'm going over in a bit too have a look at it. I've printed off the soldering guide for the MAF, so will try that first.

As frank says, coils tend to go slowly and will ofter begin to play up when hot...

Sounds like the tb solder...

Drove the car up to my mates, 4-5 miles no problems. Really smooth, left it running for 10 mins, then tried revving the engine. Misfiring badly and loads of black smoke out of the exhaust. I got my hands on a complete dizzy, which I'll try tomorrow.

With reading so many of the same faults there should be a sticky thread listing symptoms and what fix there is for each.
