Hi i have recently bought a saxo 1.6vtr 1998 and it drives well apart from the engine is running a bit rough.
It is driving ok but when it idles sometimes its fine and sumtimes its on the verge of cutting out, when im driving it it has a blip were when i first put my foot on the accelorator it has nothing like it misses then it pics up perfect with no missing. To me it seems like i have some shit in the injectors or possiblly the idle control valve could be knackered. This isnt happening all the time but most of the time it does. Another thing to mention is that the breather pipe on top of the rocker cover that is connected to the air intake where the air filter is, is clogged with oil and there are bits of oil in where the air filter is so when i took it off to have a look the butterfly on the inlet manifold part had bits of oil on it.
So one part of me thinks it could be drawing abit of oil in and the injectors could be groggy and the other half of me says it could be on the electical side of things because sometimes it doesnt happen.
I have done an oil change, air filter, spark plugs and flushed it when i changed the oil and filter, so the plugs are new.
Also there is the unit with all the spark plug leads could that be faulty to??
If u need anymore info off me let me know, Just let me know what u think this may be and one more when it does this sort of miss before picking up sometimes i get a little puff of black smoke out the back.
Cheers guys
