Hello all, have been here for ages, sold my own soarer and am now looking after my mother's TT. She won't sell it, I won't let her lol.

I have a drama with it though. She doesn't drive it often and now has developed issues.

When starting, car will idle and attempt to die unless throttle is around 3500 rpm. I have replaced fuel filter (was installed backwards ffs) and have now moved onto spark plugs, which when pulled out look like they have water build up due to a rust type layer on the ceramic.

I plan on replacing spark plugs, as I have eliminated fuel. If it comes down to coils I think I'll send the car to Cairns and live out her days.

Question is I suppose, What else should I be looking for apart from plugs? Battery is brand new, so rule that our.. I'de take it to nial or Neil if I could drive the bloody thing, but can't even get it past 10km!!

Cheers I'm advance.

Run the onboard diagnostics and see what is wrong.. it will bring up the error code to which you can then investigate it further.
