dizzy cap and rotor arm were replaced along with with the dizzy. took the throttle body off today to give it a proper clean and also cleaned the inlet manifold.finally got a good healthy idle and ticks over nicely even when cold. 
still running lumpy though and still hits the rev limit at 5000 rpm.

i think its the igntion timing but i'm not 100%. is a plug in job at seat according to the manual.
yeah was having a look through. when the new dizzy was fitted, the timing marks were all lined up properly so can only assume that leaves the ecu part of it. its averaging 4.3 mpg 
and smokes badly due to the rich mixture

get the cambelt changed on monday so can have all the timing marks adjusted then. would be nice if it all boiled down to that.

my timing marks all line up, that what confuses me. will be nice to have it sorted. once its done it'll fly through the mot.

could just be 1 tooth out or wrong belt, or somebody has had the cam pulley off and put it on backwards?
i don't know to be honest. got my mate doing it for me so he should be able to tell. cambelt on at the mo is though. is wafer thin. i'd say it ain't been changed since the factory

probably stretched too. ill get mine done and see if it works. might get 115hp again or maybe more!
or maybe more!
so finally after trying to sort the running out for seemingly forever. it is now running perfectly. the timing was out by a mile. the marks all lined up but the engine was nowhere near tdc. we got it on tdc and the cam sprocket was actually out by about 7+ teeth and the crank sprocket was nearly 180 degrees out. got those back in alignment and then re-aligned the dizzy and is running like a new car.vngtx
