well i filled up at the petrol station, got half way home and when i go to pull away the car tried to stall. i had to give it loads of gas to try pull away all the way home, is there any common problems for this ? AND, before you ask. I DID use the correct petrol :lol:

I know it sounds simple but maybe try some redex... it worked wonders on my old corsa. And a 4th gear motorway run is also gd to clean out all the rubbish in there

hi m8 at the minute i turn my car on it has a really bogged down idle, if u put took on loud pedal my revs go the opposite direction in which its supposed to, leave it a few mins shes okish lol, have to sit at a petrol station for a minute or 2 before car wants to move

clean out ur breathers etc, reset ecu (after reading some posts this appearantly has no affect ?)

open up the bonnet.
stand infront of your car
it will be on your left looks like a black box.
got clips on the edges
undo them and air filter is in there
