Im getting really sick of my VTS lumpy idle, i have changed nearly every sensor on the car, bin on the fone to citroen and my mate at motowize and still nothing!
Its so bad u can see the engine rocking back and forth on idle!! im really clutching at straws now. Only thing it can really be is that its been cammed and un-mapped!!

Will try and get a vid of the idle so u get a better idea!!

Any help will be much appreciated!

vts's are common for this and having poor idle/ cutting out from time to time. i have replaced all the sensors on mine as also idels crap, i dont do it at first if idling for a few secs but if idling over more then 20 seconds it starts to struggle to hold the idle constant, the engine rocks a bit and the echaust note goes a bit blotchy
