My mate drives a 1.4 renault clio I got a saxo, we was comparing our cars as lads do, my mate started his engine and it would tick over properly. Possible he flooded it, then his engine was violently shaking, I mean moving a good 2 inches. Then I sed give it a gentle revv to clear the problem all of a sudden it slowly cut out a big suction of air then revved?

Has anyone got any clues to what it is?
Please help,
Thanks

Sounds like its dropped a cylinder, tell him check his spark plugs and HT leads or coilpack.....
