:)Welcome.

There is another section of the forum for technical help, but I'm not a moderator so perhaps it's not my place to say.

Anyway, there are no main jets in the throttle body, just one fuel injector. It's unlikely that's the problem TBH, though anything's possible I guess. Your fault sounds more like ignition, ie spark plugs, HT leads, distributor cap rotor arm, coil ect. It's also important to check the valve clearances aren't too tight. The fuel filter is often neglected too and becomes blocked, mainly because it's hidden and fairly fiddly to do.

Good luck with it, and please let us know how it goes.

Welcome!

Yoda in a Skoda you say?
