Hey,
firsty i apologize if this is in the wrong section
bascially were at our tetheres end with this little car.....please bare with me on this one
it started with a crossthreaded sparkplug hole (No3) we got an insert put in and all was hunky dory...till it concked out on the motorway and the EML light came on...long story short it had melted the sparkplug tip and took a chunk out of the intake valve....our diagnosis was after the insert the sparkplug was lower in the cylinder than should have been thus melted and caused the damage
after a new head + skim/headgasket/headbolts/ genuine timing chain + tensioner/set of plugs/oil + oil filter
the car wouldnt start...timing was re-checked and was found to be out (crank mark was out) after resetting it and assembling it back up. the car now stalls as soon as the brake pedal is pressed when warm but is fine otherwise and pulls nicely on the motorway
the following has been replaced without any difference
-genuine maf
-new lambda sensor
-reconditioned throttle body
-new inlet gasket
-was stripped down again and the timing is perfect
its currently sat outside looking sorry for itself and has been for nearly a month....we dont know what else to try/do anyone shine any light??
