hi everyone i bought a cab 3 weeks ago was running great but now starts up and if dont rev to over 3000 revs for 30s will stuggle then cut out and wont rev when go to rev it and even when do that leave it idling for 3 minutes it will struggle then cut out, when reving can here it missing but have serviced it, also put new ht leads and coil pack on but aint made a diffrence, so i was thinking it could be somert to either do with the fuel or air not getting through properly,
