Hi
I've just got a Citroen BX 14TE St Tropez, it was running fine then it got a problem.. It was running like it was running out of petrol, it wont tick over, i can get it started eventually and the engine runs if i rev it but if i take my foot off the accelerator it just cuts out, when i try to start it it sounds like its fireing on 2 cylinders, but does start eventually. I've changed the distributer cap and checked the petrol pump and the plugs, im now at a loose end and dont know what 2 do with it, could anybody help??

Hi Chrisss
Is it possible to determine which pots are not firing by removing the plug leads one at a time?
Do you have a good spark at all plugs? If so, you may need to borrow a compression tester to test each pot.
Could possibly be the plug leads if they are old.
Is this the St Tropez that was on ebay recently?
