Post subject:  1.3 ba engine Sierra problem

I have a Sierra and the engine is playing up and I cannot work it out. It has been running a bit rough the last few weeks but nOt too bad and now it starts ok and revs fine but as soon as I out it into gear and take off it coughs and splutters and stalls ever time. It's 13ba engine any suggestions on what it is?

Possibly some crap in carby - clean out crap from carby and possibly replace fuel filter if it hasn't been changed for a while.

Ok gave that a go cleaned out the fuel replaced the filter runs well on idle and Erving but as soon as load is put on it shudders and coughs then stalls. Found that if I either push the gear stick had to the drivers side or if I grab the engine and pull it to drivers side it do this. Possibly when the engine twists it wants to stall like this hence when I go forward it stalls but if I run in reverse it dose now? Any suggestions now I'm all ou of ideas

Sounds like your grabbing third and not first.
Try starting off in second and see if that helps.

Nah I'm pretty machenicaly minded it's when u grab the whole engine and pull it drivers side over so like the engine has load when I'm taking off and it dose it then and when I put pressure on the stick which twists the gearbox slightly it dose the same thing. It dose it in any gear I take off except reverse for some reason so all forward gears. Go figure....?

I would say an electrical connection of some sort has come loose and the movement of the engine causes it to lose contact, stalling the engine.

Sorry I misread your post.
Check your engine mounts.

I had same problem and it was a dodgey coil. It started as load in reverse would stall then after awhile it did it to first. The bad coil not making a strong enough spark for it to kick over underload (what my brother sad i think). New coil in runs like a dream

Hope that helps
