my fuel gauge read low on fuel, light had been on for a while but not a huge amount of miles.
went down to start her up today..normally on the button every time..this time very sluggish indeed ..took along time to catch maybe 15-20 seconds..finally started and ran very rough for a bit till i got to the petrol station no acceleration and just a bit unresponsive, filled up half a tank started on the button and now seems to run fine..just running a bit rich but haven't had a chance to drive any real distance and do the "italian tune up"
am assuming because i inadvertently nearly ran the tank to empty some crap had blocked either the line or injectors and will come good after a good drive, have to go to petworth from guildford in the morning so was thinking to fill her all the way and maybe add some redex..have a bottle in the garage but before i do would like some feedback on whether or not this is a good idea maybe just a full tank of super and a good run will be enough...up to this point she has purred like a kitten so i'm hoping i have this diagnosed correctly.
p.s i only ever fill with highest octane fuel and this is the first time i have run the car for anytime with the light on, i thought we had a good 60 miles with the warning light on, apparently not!
any thoughts please much appreciated
thanks
