hi there,

i have heard several different theories as to why my car is acting as it is and the all seem plausable.

the car does idle fine when starting and then settling down but as it does the normal routine it sound like it is either being starved of air and struggling to run but once the idel settles to normal then the engine sounds fine.

the 2nd issue is when driving, it does feel a little sluggish sometimes however the main issue is betweek 2k and 3k revs as i am cruising it will then do what it does at start up so i increase the revs by changing gear and it is fine.

this does not happen all the time but alot of the time.

i have been told on this thread to do the fuel pump and filter and i know the filter needs changing and the pump sounds like a good idea

i have also been told it could be the inlet manifold or the box of trick that sits behind it.

this is why i started this thread as from my research i found posts on various sites from years ago describing similar issues but no real answer.

just want it to run like a normal car for a while rather then fix one issue then get another hahahaha

but thank for your input it is appreciated.

problem is i dont know a decent mechanic who can help diagnose the issue
