Last weekend I gave the car a decent service including fuel filter,
Since then I have had two occasions in which the car has gone into lunatic mode acting as though it is on two cyls.
This issue recovers after a decent rev, both these times the tank was above half.
I am guessing it would be the fuel pump as the new filter has the pump woking properly again.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

Re: nb fuel issue
if you replaced the in tank filter, then check that is ins't all bent up inside the tank. lots of previous issues with this setup.

I replace the fuel filter underneath the car not in tank if that helps

Re: nb fuel issue
Might just be that the lines are empty after the change.
If that's the case it should clear up after a decent drive to pump fuel through again.

Re: nb fuel issue
Mr kansai, thanks for the advice though when this problem first appeared it was on a 450km drive.
I have narrowed it down to being a misfire though am unsure how to check who th culprit is.
