GingerFlame Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Ah okay. Timing belt look okay? Any dashboard warning lights? Have you tried connecting an OBDII fault code reader?

Chrispugh21 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Did you put the right fuel in? If the case was you put the wrong fuel in the original fuel will still be in the pipes and will cut out around 5 miles.
