wen u start her up she strugging to idle the revs are going up and down strugging to tick over wen u drive her she suffering from lack of power especially wen u start off after i pick it up wen i brought her stopped on way home to refuel then she seemed to get worse

This could be a number of things tbh mate
Lambda, icv, and temp sensors can cause these probs, I would say more so the lambda or icv tbh
But beat thing to do mate is diagnostics, as it could be something else that doesn't always spring to mind, or add up from what other people have had go wrong which cause the same symptoms, normally the hunting will be the icv though, but if your saying about it gets worse when driving lack of power etc then it could relate to either lambda or icv
So will save a few head aches an bit of cash by getting diagnostics as you'll only be changing the 1 sensor needed to be done

ive got a x reg furio too bud and when i first got mine it did this on the way back from picking it up like the revs would go from normal idle to really low near stalling then way to high , so i got a new idle control vavle ( I.V.C ) and new lamda and spark plugs and gave it a service and then filled it up and took it for a good drive and it was sorted

[saxorob27]

i thought i would put the question out there just see if there woz any commons problems?but i fink diagnostics is probably best otherwise i could be wasting money on things that dont need replacing n getting no where how would a diagnostics cost?

[saxorob27]

mine doesnt stall revs are up n down its like bein starved suffering lack of power sometimes try change up to 2nd gear n u gotta change back down just had fink ill give it a good service i no its bin done then

[vtr_chris90]

Diagnostics always vary from town to town, and from garage to garage, where abouts are you based?
It could be anywhere around the 40-50quid area maybe cheaper if your lucky.

A good service may help, but I do think it's sensor related personally
