I was on my home this afternoon when I had taken of from a set of light, I was in second with my foot to the floor when it started going POP POP POP POP POP POP from the carby, no power and I could only get up to 40km in 4 gear, I limped back to a mechanic, he won't be able to look at it till monday 
So any ideas, hoping for something wrong with the carby but might be something wrong with the head. |

something similar happened to me once... was a broken rocker shaft... but i imagine it could be anything in that area including broken valve spring, stuck valve? just guesses really... |

Sounds like when my car blew a head gasket... If it runs normally for a few seconds after startup then goes back to that state, it probably is. |

could be a number of things...did it sound like a VW if so head gasket gone. or it could be as simple as the fuel filter |

Hi thanks for your replies, sounded like a VW it's a 998 with a single 1.5 SU, how much will a new head gasket cost? ATM I have a crappy head 12A1456 Should I look at getting a 202 or 295? |

Lost compression in No.3 + 4 cylinders, I decided to replace the entire head with a 12G202 head, now when I'm ready to do some work on my block i'll have the right head to start with. thanks to mini spares in padstow |

similar thing happened to me due to over ajusted rocker gear, snaped an exhaust push rod on cyl 2, identified the problem on the side of the road disconnected the lead and drove home to fix it on 3 cylinders. struggled to reach 60 in forth. |
