trouble with the zed again...

Ok as you might know.... i have had a few troubles with the zed recently....

 

well... its starts up fine now.... good news... bad new the revs are ALL over the place...

 

doesn't idle proper and the revs are up n down and cuts out...

 

I was driving it and it just cut out!!! died on me...! but luckily i wasn't going fast and there were no cars around.... parked up safely....

 

Noe it does start but the revs just jump up and down... and the accelerator pedal just doesn't seem to control the revs?

 

it has a mind of its own? revs really low then finally cuts out... doesn't drive?

 

Looking for some advice because now the car is MILES from my home parked in a random street.

 

:cry: once i sort the zed i got a feeling its just got to go, annoying me now :confused:

    had similar when I inadvertantly left MAF unplugged but would also suggest temp sender connection.

    Hope you sort it mate.
