robbeaumont Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 hi all, could anyone point me in the right direction with my galaxy. its a 1996 n reg 2.8 cd v6 every time i start it up it sounds rough, i give it some throttle and it sounds as if its sucking in too much air and there is a major loss of power sometimes it'll clear it self and goes like the clappers but most of the time its running and idleing is rough, i pulled the air filter box out as well as the air flow meter and the hoses going to it put it all together again making sure it was all tight and secure and started it up and still no better, while the car was running i disconnected the lead from the air flow meter and it still ran and made no difference in the idleing, could this air flow meter be the problem or could it be something else? could anyone whos had the same sort of problem give me a list of what it could be as i'm getting a bald patch from scrathing my head so much. thanks in advance Quote
seatkid Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Start by checking ignition - plugs, leads, coil pack. Over 90% of rough running is associated with these. Its not LPG is it? Quote
