na dude i was running around for ages with my car doing this , totally think that your car is going to konk out ,. i changed the spark plugs and the oil and it runs like a dream now .

could be the coil pack

[Dan]

Yeah check coil pack, spark plugs etc etc

[WelshSaxo]

it only got serviced last month, would hav thought they check all that & changed the plugs bla bla bla! lol

on a 2nd thought if it woz a plug wouldn't it still b doin it??? or is it possible 4 shit 2 build up on it then 4 it 2 clear som how???

cheers 4 any help tho!

[sp02ttz]

ye it will be the carbon build up on them . servicing dont change the plugs , well depends on the miles .

[ppavli]

mite need to change coil pack mate or it could be the throttle cable they quite commonly go

[mad_dog]

yeh sounds like coil pack or sparks mate

[barrett]

I had this in my saxo. Would do it, down the road and sometimes i would
turn round then it would suddenly be ok again.

It will keep reoccuring mate. Its probably the coil pacl
