Geminis Skoda Poorly

[gemini]

Intermitently the EBF (Favorit) looses power then theres a sucking noise from the engine. The engine will not pull but idles.
Any attempt to accelerate just makes the sucking noise louder
The fault clears and away we go again
Technical tips please

[Mad Dave]

Clogged up carbs, assuming its not FI.

Tell her to sit in the back while your driving!


BTW nice to see you again over the wekend. OH

[gemini]

Its injected (didnt think Id buy a non fi skoda - really )

[Mad Dave]

I have a Felicia......but I havent a clue if its injected or not as i've only ever lifted the bonnet once, and that was to change a lightbulb

Partially collapsed hose between the air intake and throttle body?
Air filter "collapsing"?
Foreign body stuck in the air intake?

It might be worth asking the question on Briskoda (www.briskoda.net)

Edit: just had another thought - an intermittent air leak downstream of the airflow sensor will fool the ECU into injecting far too little fuel, resulting in loss of power.
