After getting all my suspension fitted and problems sorted ready for le mans this year my williams broke down tonight on the way home.
Was driving on the motorway accelerating upto about 70mph when the revs suddenly dropped. They then went back up again and dropped until i started to slow down. So i pulled over to the hard shoulder and the car idled fine. Rev the engine and at about 3000rpm is spluttered and banged.
Turned off the engine and checked the ignition leads and tired to restart it but no luck engine turned over but didnt fire up.
Waited for the AA to come and the guy managed to get it started. Same again at higher rpm's it spluttered and lost power. Stopped it and started it again and it then ran fine. So i got in drove it about 200m and same thing happened.
Eventually towed me to the renault garage. When i got there i tried restarting it and again it didnt fire up.
Ive fitted new HT leads spark plugs dizzy cap and rotor arm last week. I have noticed my fuel pump making a whistling noise over the last week so could it be this?
Anyone any ideas where i should go from here i desperately need the car for travelling to le mans on wednesday. Its down at reanult now so i can see if they can take it in the morning.
Any help would be great
Thanks adi
