as it says, sputtering/bogging at low revs, up to about 3,000

its worse the lower the revs.

idle's fine though?

any ideas?

cheers

right so service car 2day, changed;

oil
oil filter
sparks
fuel filter.

now the problem has changed.

it now revs up fine, but idle's lumpy, like it used to when the egr stopped working but thats unplugged and had been for ages.

also sprayed oil out exhaust (tiny splats on floor) and was black smoke while cold.

any ideas??

cheers

for your sparkplugs

http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/pages/technical/diagnosis.htm

depending on colour/texture thats whats happening.

Black smoke isn't a good sign, thats oil burning someplace, not ideling correctly can be air/fuel anything along those lines to be honest

black smoke is overfuelling not oil, check the pipe to the map sensor and just check for air leaks
