Hi guys
Thanks for the tips, ok my vx kind of fixed itself overnight :-) as when I drove it this morning it drove spot on. CHECK ENGINE light was still on got phoning. That cgtrading guy was a bit..... "How can I be polite" unhelpful.
Told me any mechanic will fix a vehicross and that I didn't need a specialist! An engine is an engine and a clutch is a clutch!
Ok.... I thanked him for his help and moved on.
Found another garage that deals in jap 'boy racer' imports!!!
After all the mechanics came out and walked around my vx taking pictures one of them had to put it on 3 different diagnostic machines before coming up with a fault code. Turns out it was the throttle position sensor. Apparently that's what caused the misfire from 2nd to 3rd. Don't know how or why it's stopped but I've done about 40 miles today and it's driving 100%
Yeah!
Will get in contact with the other vx'ers. Fingers crossed they still own them.
Thanks again guys (((thumbs up)))
