850 t5 Pulsing vibration under load

Hi All

I've noticed a bit of a vibration from the engine when I'm pulling away, it's not severe, just annoying as it makes the dash rattle!

Any ideas chaps?

Re: What is everyone's average mpg?

Well, having put the right plugs in, I've been instantly rewarded with an average 23mpg. Dizzy heights indeed! BTW my car has 129,000 miles on the clock and I do a good mixture of driving, short runs and lengthy journeys.

Re: What is everyone's average mpg?

I don't know know about my city/highway, but I average 31 when I'm mostly commuting (116 miles on freeway, 16 miles in town, per day), and if I'm mostly driving around town it drops to about 25. 1997 850 T5 with 161k running 19psi, 205/55-16's, Ipd springs. Those numbers are by doing the math mysel...

Re: What is everyone's average mpg?

....Just been reading about multiple-ground electrode plugs, and I reckon i've been mis-sold em because they can't be gapped, and they're twice what they wanna be (0.053")

Re: What is everyone's average mpg?

I really think I should be getting a bit more than 20-20.7 mpg at best. Hmmmph! (1995 850 T5 Wagon, ongoing niggles)

850 T-5 Spark plug confusion

Hi All Since I took care of my misfire issues, and had a standard exhaust fitted, I have noticed a strange vibration through the dashboard area that wasn't there before. As if the motor is running slightly lumpy, especially noticeable when accelerating from standstill. My question is this... I repla...

Re: '95 850 T5 MISFIRE PROBS

OK, I finally got round to replacing the cam seal and sure enough, there were tiny beads of moisture in the distributor cap again.
Hopefully it is now sorted!
Thanks for all the help/advice, and a Merry Christmas to all.

Re: '95 850 T5 MISFIRE PROBS

Quick update....3 days and approx 300 miles later, still no problems... And another one....seems very slightly lumpy on pulling away from standstill. Fuel consumption has dropped back down to 20-20.5, from 25 plus after the distributor cap incident was resolved. As i still haven't had a chance to fi...

Re: '95 850 T5 MISFIRE PROBS

Hi there, thanks for the post. I haven't washed the engine bay, and the distributor cap was brand new 3 weeks ago. I actually am now thinking that if my cam seal is duff, maybe that could have created some condensation in the distributor. Worth noting- I haven't had a chance to do the cam seal yet. ...
