it does smoke, but i think a lot is vapour in the morning, smoke's a little after i switched it off

tension (HT) leads are plug leads

is the exhaust smoking or is it just vapour in the cold mornings?

what/where are the tension leads?

exhaust is smokey, white smoke and smells of petrol

could b ya tension leads mate cos that was happenin 2 mine lately , wot happened was they were catching so i seperated them and now she runs smooth again

saw one changed on an sxi in like 5 minutes, dont need to remove the inlet on that.

a 1.4 sport 1997

im not 100% sure but i know on the GSI they are a bastard to get 2!! i know greasemonkey had problems with his!! what car u got??

i thought this after doing a search, is it hard to get to, i know joff has pic's, but heard u have to take off inlet manifold????

idle control valve me thinks :|

real pissed off with my car now, in the morning when i turn it on, it ticks over lumpy and sort of "pulses".

then when i drive it and accerelate, normally when going fairly slow, or pulling out of junctions, it judders like its missing, and u can hear it, exhaust sounds weird. reminds me of when the head gasket had gone.

could it be some sensor???

it goes away when it warm, but still jumps when taking foot off accelerator.

almost liek a fuel problem
