Hi there new to this so please help

got a 2.5 v6 omega elite and has started to play up a bit when i start the engine it is almost stumbling and popping when you rev it it sounds like its got a hole somewhere but there aint it has got no power and idles irratically lifted the bonnet and sounds like something is ticking on the right hand side of the engine not sure if it is plugs if someone could help please

ticking could be your exhaust manifold gasket blowing. you really need to paperclip it to see what codes are being thrown up tbh.

Or you could check for an air intake leak, I'd check all unions .

as said, do a paperclip test to get the fault codes, that'll point you in right direction. as for the erractic idle it maybe worth giving your ICV a good clean
