Howdy all;
Im ahving soe problems with my TS at th moment. The main being that it is "chugging" when the accelerator is pushed down with a bit of force and when it first starts and idles. Its seems fine whilst driving (as far as i can tell) but as soon as i put the right boot to it, she splutters and chugs abit and the goes on with the business at hand (or should i say foot).
I have run some injector cleaner through it over the last week and I will be replacing the fuel filter when the weather gets better (its raining like its monsoon season here) but after that i have no idea what it could be. My friend at work says the fuel pump may be on the way out and the spark plugs could be going too but i dont know if its either or both of those.
If anyone out there has a clue on what it could be and any advise on how to fix it myself would be very greatfull
Thanks
Uncle Andy

did you reset the the fuel line pressure after fitting the fuel filter
(on a TS there is a fuse you pull out and then replace in the engine bay fuse box)
other things
TPS
air flow meter
fuel regulator on the fuel rail
