My 1.3 SOHC G13 has a weird problem maybe someone here can shed some light on it.

From cold it will start and warm up, idle perfectly fine. As soon as i drive the car down the road a few hundred yards it will start to kangaroo around and stall. It will start perfectly fine again and idle straightaway, as soon as i put into gear and push accelerator it will cut out, it will keep on doing this until the battery goes flat!

It started a few days ago, but i just revved it up and dumped the gear and got going, but this morning it got much worse and I had to leave the car at home. I bought this car with absoubulely knackered spark plugs, after i changed them the car was fine, but now it is playing up i suspect the plugs i will check them again. Is there any issues on these with distributor cap adjustments or HT leads, cut out switch?

Could also try checking the fuel filter, worked on my other car

try pouring one of those gas-line/injector cleaners in the tank, seafoam works if you can get it in the UK .

yeh i can get injector cleaner from work, but i don't think thats the problem. Iam running it on super unleaded which in UK is 99 octane rated, will check the filter anyway. I just drove the car tonight for a short journey and it was fine did not splutter at all

It looks like vacuum leak. Check the hoses.

My '96 started bucking on acceleration. I learned to "drive around" the problem while trying to diagnose it going down the road to work and back everyday. I was 99% sure it was a plugged catalytic converter, leaving 1% that it might be plugs/wires.

I went the cheap & easy route and replaced the plugs and wires first... no more bucking.

my car gets major bucking. but my ignition system operates flawless. could be something else.

I had serious bucking issues and it turned out that the TPS sensor wires were not making contact properly. I removed them and fixed up the wires abit and the problem was gone..

This may or may not be the problem for your case but thought I'd just put it out on the table.

Would this be the connection AT the TPS or somewhere else along the lines >?

It is at the TPS. I can try taking a pic later today if possible and post it if needed.

because the tps unit is a female connector so then it must be then the terminals of the male connecter end on the wiring harness.
