Hi chaps - I'm having serious problems with the car at low RPMs
If i'm sitting still the car will judder and jolt suddenly every 10 seconds or so. When I go to pull away - the car jumps, jolts and hesitates up until around 1500 RPM
The car idles at 600 rpm as it always has done - just with this big shudder every so often
If I engage the aircon when sitting still the car idles up to around 1000/1200 RPM as usual but the car shudders and jolts constantly - just as it does when pulling away
above this low RPM range the car seems a lot smoother

Start with the basics, check spark plugs and coil packs, sounds like you may have a miss. Mine was very similar but not to your extent when I had my old coil packs

i checked the plugs, and they gapped at 1.1 so i put sum new ones in and gapped to .75. but all was good for a little while then it started to run like •••• again. and the a/f gauge was in rich all the time. so i think it has fouled the plugs again. because it is running so rich any ideas people?

not yet hehe been lazy.
but i think i just found the problem, someone has put like a little peice of metal, with a small hole in the line to the map sensor,( not factory i can tell you) took it out and it seems to be running realy good, just took it for a drive, then and does not run rich, yeah fuel pump should not make it run rich but the fuel reg, should sort out the pressure.
