Right ive got a 1.4 16v sport....And it judders wen im sorta slowing down And it fuckin dosnt move like a 16v....Even tho im gettin beat of my mates 1.4i 8v...People say its normal but wen i drove my G/F sister 1.4 16v sport...It fuckin pulled like a sun of a bitch it put mine to shame....Any advice..
Wen i was driving down to cornwall my Engine mangement light came on And it wasnt idleing rite..which was very werid then after a few miles the light went out and it was sorta normal...My cars a 1.4 16v sport S reg 1998...

Thanks for the quick reply rob

But would that make it run sluggish...As wen i drove my G/f sister sport its fuckin well quicker....And is pissing me off....I realy do think my old 1.4 8v flair was faster and that had 110k miles....

i had the identical symptoms, you can take it off and clean it that fixed mine for a month, but its kind of starting to idle wierd again so i bought a new one off ebay going to fit it this weekend.

Yes they can make the car feel sluggish

there is only a second or so diff between a vtr and a 1.4 to 60 so i better start will make all the difference as well as a short box.

plus my ecu light has come on before... driving 100 miles a little too fast... slowed down and it was fine. engine isn't designed for going long distances really
