some times my car will sit at 1500 revs and drive's like theres an air lock in the fuel (spits and spurts) and some times the rev's will go up and down and still drive like a bag of shite.
i think its the "throttle body blah blahh somthing or other" the little black sensor on the injection unit???
am i right? has anyone else had this problem?
any help or suggetions welcome
cheers

my car is currently doing this also, ive bin told that its the idle speed control valve, tried cleaning it up and all sorts, just solves the problem for a day or so and then it comes back, engine management light comes on if im driving at steady revs for more than 20 seconds like on a motorway or sumthin or just when im generally idleing obviosly lol, 80 quid new from vauxhall apparently?..
