Self healing Tuscan

[basil brush]

My June 2000 car has been suffering from misfire problems for a couple of months. TMS had a look and couldn't find anything wrong a couple of weeks ago when it was serviced. Last Sunday I started the car up and it was so bad it wouldn't hold tickover, and died when I tried to accelerate at all. I took it for a run, as needed petrol, and all of a sudden it cleared, and has been fine ever since. Seems as though there was a blockage in the fuel system that has finally shifted and the car is back to how it was when I bought it. I haven't a clue what it could have been as I don't know the layout of the fuel system.

I am much relieved, so if you are having problems it could just be something stupid.

My lcd display loses a couple of rows top and bottom which seem to return sometimes when it is warm, but so far my speedo has been ok.

Ours has just been back to the garage to get both the digital and the needle speedo fixed, also our lcd screen sometimes has lines running across it but seems to disapear when warm

It seems to be a fairly common problem on early cars. A few people on the yahoo list are suffering and there was some talk about replacement lcd screens. I think somebody was trying to get a price.

ps Where are you from Craig?

I had problems in my car after I had been driving in Spain after a couple of hours. Speedo became erratic at 120mph+ then packed up and then returned to normal after a stop. Happened a few times. Fault was cleared by a factory fix (new software I think)
