Hi, need a little help with a issue.

Red light was on. day before pay day so i risked running it a few more mile. topped up petrol, put about £10 fuel in. driving down a road about 5 mile from petrol station.

Here is the problems.

It sounds like a freekin tractor. chugging sound almost how a go cart idles.
engine ticks over fine, but once idles comes to a stall. abselute no power at all. steady to pick up speed. the engine light is on.

What iv done

Changed fuel filter
injector cleaner
new spark plugs
checked cams for valve damage.

Could do with some help. :-s
however i have just booked it in for a diagnostic check for £30 :-/

HELP!

Chuging like a tractor, or sounding like a subaru?

Sounds like coilpack to me mate, your best trying one off another saxo thats running perfect to make sure its exactly that.
