The addition of hunting tells me it is the CO, it is running very lean by the sounds of it, richen it up to around 2.5 % CO, obviously this needs doing on a gas anylyser, but if it is a car that you don't know the true history of I would suggest that first you replace the coolant temp sensor, this is at the rear of the head on nearside(inlet), a blue sensor with a two pin plug on it, this ensures the fuel mix is correct at the correct temp and is the main corrective factor for fuel mixture.
Just a simple turn of a screw afterwards on the ecu will have it nice and happy!!

Sounds plausable. It was running a uprated chip, but has had a standard one put back in. Looking at the MOT emissions test, its showing a CO % at idle of 0.13. Im assuming this is very lean??
I have ordered a full sensor kit from MSD so will swap the whole lot next week. I dont have a gas analyser
How many turns would see me safe enough to drive it to somewhere to have it setup properly??
thanks
