SP02C · 31-07-2006, 02:24 PM

hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me..
i own a 1990 astina 323 with the 1.8 DOHC engine
i was driving and whilst driving normally my car lost all its power and the revs were decreasing rapidly even wen throttle was open and as soon as i put my clutch in it stalled and now it cant start

any advice on whats wrong??

i have changed my AFM with a 1.8 SOHC ford laser , still no luck... are they generally the same?

Not out of petrol are you?

SP02C · 31-07-2006, 05:54 PM

hahaha no thats the first thing i checked... but its still a full tank

Does it crank?
Have you checked the ECU error codes.

SP02C · 31-07-2006, 11:47 PM

yea it cranks .... i tried to run diagnostic test but no signal was given on thetest lamp...

is this what happens when there are no errors stored in the ecu?
