Another update -

Had exhaust replaced - both rear and mid sections were blowing. However, not made much difference to the running.

It's still running pretty rough, and it seems to be quite rattly at idle - once the revs get up it runs better, but still not perfect. I've tried some Holts Piston Seal after a few people suggested it could be the piston rings wearing, but thats not made any difference  

It stalls quite easily too, especially when reversing with the wheel turning (extra load from the power steering?)

I changed the plugs when I put the piston seal in, just in case that would help, but no difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I wonder if you have a vacuum leak somewhere?

As it is a 95 model, and I have the same engine in my Cavalier, does the breather system on your engine have the modification?  the modification is a large box fitted in the middle of the large pipe coming up from the crankcase to the rocker cover.
