Lots of new bits but no mention of a rather obvious thing to check - the plugs and coil pack?

I got a very similiar fault with mine mate although mine doesnt clear unless i back off.Just changed the leads thinking that would solve the problem,but no such luck.
Hope you get it sorted mate before it costs you anymore.

Check the plug gaps. Should be 0.7mm.

hi mate.....
check the plug-leads are firmly pushed on the spark-plugs..
under heavy accelleration on my old my99 I popped off one of the leads.
might be worth checking...

after looking at my boost i think it may be over boosting does any one know what the fuel cut is on a my99 it hits 16psi then drops to 14 psi is this right

Sounds a bit high. Standard boost on a UK 99my should be around 0.8 bar (12psi)
