Hi all, Im currently learning to drive, and a few months back purchased a 1.0 V reg saxo. At first everything was great. But after giving it longer runs etc theres a problem. In third gear 25-30mph itl sometime start to Kangaroo, and at 45-50 in 5 it starts to do it (it's not me honest, does the same for the dad!!) The throttle just seems to die off, then if you dip the clutch, with the throttle in the same position the rev's are going up and down like a yoyo!. Ive checked all obvious connections and hoses etc. It's a tricky one to pin point as the fault is intermittent, and when it runs well, shes a beaut! Any help greatly appreciated, cheers.

cheers for the reply, it recently had an MOT, and a new lambda sensor was fitted, but it was kangarooing before and after the new one was fitted.
