Hi sorry for the delayed reply I haven't been on for a while!
Well where to begin! The engine stalls when coming to a stop so I have to keep the revs up to prevent this, there are also very strong exhaust fumes which can be smelt when driving I don't know if this is linked?
The car battery loses power after about two/three days of driving it, i've been having to take the battery out and charge it manually! I've had the alternator checked and that's not the problem so i'm guessing it's losing power somewhere in between!
Any help/suggestions welcome!
Thanks

Hello Holly! Its Dan who you added on facebook. Your battery could be old and needs replacement. if its stalling when coming to a stop, it ideally needs the timing checking, fueling and tickover all setting up, see where we go from there. Can have a look sometime if you like ?

If it's any help I have a SPI and MPI code reader and some experience with them, I'd be willing to have a look if need be.
