Broken wire somewhere? The engine could be moving on it's mount as you pull away and breaking the circuit :?

I had a similar problem on my previous car. In the end when it twigged that it might be a wiring problem I just grabbed hold of the engine loom at various points and tried moving it until something happened. Turns out on that car the wires into my crank sensor were broken and cutting the ignition intermittently.

It might be easier is you get it to a rolling road that can monitor ignition and fuel signals while running, then hopefully they'll see where the problem is

Ok just had a look at my old turbo, And it turns out that its been eating at the compresser wheel, So i guess my problem is metal in my lump :x What would the next step be and is it gonna cost mega bucks?

Problem solved. :lol: Heres a handy tip if you think you have got metal on the pistons, remove one plug and start the engine for a few seconds if there is any bits in there they will soon shoot out of the plug hole. "that tip saved me loads of money"
