make sure your injectors are clean and make sure you have a clean air filter. If the air sensor get dirty then it wont suck the right amt. of air in. I think its called a MAS. mass air sensor. If its not that then its your distributor or spark plugs. Good luck!

Hey thanks for your input mate, appreciated. Today I was in it and it drove ok for half mile then played up. It's strange that if I floor the accelerator its fine ,well 90% ,but sometimes I hear a clank as if it's connected to to throttle. Especially uphill I've noticed as apposed to downhill.its strange.
