Hiya...
I only noticed it at high revs in 2nd gear but now its doing it during gear change and in other gears...
As the revs reach over 5k the engine will seem to lose all electrical power, like the plugs aren't sparking, and effectively die for a split second then come back to life....
The car runs perfectly fine on idle and up to 4.5-5k revs but then this intermittent problem shows its face...
Its not constant, sometimes it wont do it for a while, then it will suddenly start doing it....
Could it be corroded earth points int he engine bay? If not then what are the other likely suspects?
As luck would have it, I still have my M50 520 here and that car never did it once in over a year so If you could recommend changing somthing then I would most likely have it on that engine.....
HELP!
