i do dont use unleaded petrol i have always put super unleaded in as i find it lasts longer and gives better performance, could this b the problem?

possibilit the ecu thinks the the throttle is open more than it should be? causing more fuel to be injected?

If your throttle position is low voltage then chances are its dead.
Sensors on these engines are a nightmare !

ok cheers lads, i have a spare tb off my old engine so will try that.
it sounds as if there a blockage in the exhaust, i had a custom straight threw exhaust on my saxo and that felt the same, and eventually it back-fired and was fine but that didnt have a cat and my gsi does
