Changed rocker cover gasket on Saturday due to an oil leak. (got a bigger one now from somewere else but anyway.....) When i took the spark plugs out they were swimming in oil becasue of the leak. Sorted it all out and replaced the gasket.
Now when I'm driving for a bout 15 minutes the EM light comes on and when I stop at traffic lights with my foot down on the clutch it seems like it's breathing  Goes from 800-1000rps to around 2000, up and down up and down. To get bighting point i don't need gas just raise the clutch up slightly and I can set off. Great for hill starts 
Before I do a paperclip test I'm just wondering if anyone has come across this and if anyone knows what the problem could be? Anything to do with changing the gasket? Im puzzled
