loss of acceleration and idle problems?

[VTR_SCANTY]

recently my car drove fine, but now when i sit there with the car idling, it will rev up and down without my foot on the pedal, almost like its going to stall, this also has affected it while driving because when i accelerate, it will bog down for a few seconds and then it will shoot off normally. could it be spark plug? HT leads? injectors? has anyone experienced this? any help is appreciated :y:

I got this sort of problem myself, not so much the idle, but sometimes when i accelerate it bogged and i had to wait. It was as if it had to reset itself. Hasnt happened recently so god knows what it is!

could be coilpack or MAP sensor

mines the same but it dont bog down. it just jumps on tick over :(

[nick-w-saxo]

mine doesn't stall but sometime in the low revs it looses power and them jolts forward when it gets it back like stuttering
