1) Any ECU light on the dash, does it light when the ignition is first turned on adn then go off once the engine fires....

2) If no ECU light then its either an air leak (check all inlet ducting carefully) or igniton system.....so pull a few plug leads off and check for oil in the plug wells as a starter for ten...

Ok if the EM light (the orange one on the dash) comes on, then it is storing a fault (or 2).

First let's find out what they are...

and this will tell you what the code means

Do the check and report back before you do anything else.

Ok, so let's get a detailed description of the problem.

1. How is it to start. Does it start first time?

2. Does it idle smoothly?

3. When driving does it deliver power smoothly to a certain point then get "juddery"?
Does it cruise ok, but then judder when you put your foot down?
Say for instance you are cruising along at 40-50mph then you put your foot down to accelerate, does it almost hold back and struggle to pick up speed?

4. Does the EM (orange) light come on at all when driving?

Do check the leads for damage and oil etc first......

Not to pricey new, about 90 quid for a DIS......dont by leads from Vx though, very expensive!
