i pulled off at a roundabout and it was really slugish but sorted it self out after a few seconds and then got to some traffic lights bout 5 mins later. went to pull off and the revs just gradually go down till it dies, so turn it over again and it takes alot longer than normal to start up but starts up, then idles at about 500rpm for a while spluttering and popping then revs gradually up to 3500revs sits there for about a minute and then comes back down to 750 (normal idle) so i go to pull off and it dies on me again. so i switch it on again and does it all over again.

on the third attepmt to pull off it actually works and has bin fine since.

what the hell happened??

cheers matt
p.s sorry about the essay.
