Any ideas on rough idling for the MK1 VRS? Seems to go up and down, sometimes to the point where you feel like it is going to stall. But when the engine is fully warm it does improve. I have no idea if the coil packs have ever been changed as I got the car as a bit of a project, and the guy before me had treated it not so good. I did do the spark plugs myself, but am wondering if I over-tightened them or not. I didn't use a torque wrench just hand. Sometimes when accelerating as well, it can seem very laggy, slow to boot, almost as if the turbo sticks sometimes. It has had a stage one remap, running at 220BHP. I did manage to track the guy down who done this some years ago, and he said just keep your eye on it as the car was in a bit of a state when it was brought in. I thought £80/£90 for a stage one was very cheap, thats why I rang him, but he seemed genuine and said any problems bring her back. As far as I know, it had a completely different car map on when the previous owner took her in, so he had to put the original MK1 VRS map on. I believe they put a popcorn limiter on as well.
