delboy Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 check the petrol filter m8 change it. it's locted on the near side at the rear under the car looks like a drinks can it mabe that your need to change the air filter aswell as it sounds like it's getting starved of petrol or air ? try running it without the air filter in place to see if it's that or there may be a blockage or a crease in the petrol line nr the engine bayalso it's worth changing the spark plugs as that will cause it there are so many items i can list for you to check but start with air filter & plugs & then let us know m8 keep us posted on your progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cswagon Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hello I read somewhere else that the "idler valve " can cause similar symptons, is this a possibility? If so, what needs to be done to this please? I see a new one is only around twenty quid on E-Bay. Thanks Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
