Intermitent rough running

Featured Replies

On cold mornings mostly , the car can occasionally act like a coil has gone , it's splutters and nearly stalls, but asoon as I blip the throttle its goes back to normal / slightly rough idle . It always has a slightly rough idle ,some days worse than others . Also power deleivery sometimes is not smooth especially low down in the revs / first and second gear , and sometimes feels like a boost surge. I recently changed the bov valve , wich did help with the power delivery , as it was realising the boost whilst accelerator was still down , but it has not fixed it %100 but has definitely helped . I have recently cleaned the maf sensor but it did not seem to make any difference ! The car has been scanned and no faults were found and also reset all the plugs i think ( sorry not sure on the technical terms ) . From what I have read on here , I'm thinking of cleaning the throttle body .

Any other ideas ? P,s it's a vrs and im not to good with technical terms :)

Have you looked at the vac pipe that runs under the inlet manifold. They decay from the inside out cause of oil. Mine was the same, I replaced the pipe and its all smooth and running perfect. It's a S shaped pipe, you have to feel for it as you won't be able to see it.
