interesting situation

Hey Fellas!

Yesterday I was driving my 95 Ibiza GTi along quite casually, when I hit a bump and all of a sudden the accelerator decided it didn't want to do anything, and the car lost revs, came to a stop and stalled. I immediately started it back up and it drove away very normally and I've experienced no further issues!
I have no idea what may have caused it. However recently its had a bit of a cold start issue. Any hazard guesses?

You might have dislodged a plug somewhere. It's still connected but not making a very good contact on all terminals.

Try unplugging all electrical connectors and replugging. Might clear up the cold start problem.

Cheers

I've since discovered my dissy cap was pretty badly worn out. So it's been swapped out and cold start issue doesn't exist.

Interestingly, I haven't had the car lose power since. I keep thinking it might have been lightning. I was driving through a thunder storm.

how old is the battery/////maybe lead-sludge in it caused it to fla=tline until it settled again after the jolt !!
