Hi Guys, my 97 Sportspack has just started cutting out when slowing down at junctions. Stationary, on the drive she'll tick away all day .I'm guessing that the problem is related to fitting a new Maniflow single box exhaust as that's when it started misbehaving. The only other "mod" was putting Shell e5 V-Power in her. Any solutions/advice is gratefully appreciated, Cheers

What is the milage on the mpi?

Hiya, 50K, it's normally a proper pocket rocket.

Idle hanging? Id clean IACV first.

I would also consider checking all the manifold nuts and make sure no leaks on the inlet.

All sensors still plugged in correctly?

May also be a fuel filter/hose issue being caused by the new fuel that the garages supply at the pumps for us these days..

Thanks, I've bought a new IACV next step road testing. Meanwhile while she's been stood I've fitted adjustable thicker tie bars (it was on my list) looking now at solid sub-frame mounts. Any sensible modification tips are appreciated, I don't want to spoil the "character", just update her a little, once she is running properly. Thanks for your help.
