Hi all,

My parents 1997 MPi is misfiring/kangarooing/jerking at lower speeds (typically 20-30 MPH in 2nd gear). I don't think it is a physical misfire (could be wrong!)......just wanted some opinions!

I have tried a few different MAF sensors and recently swopped the IACV which has dractically improved the previous rough idle/stalling when coming to a stop.

Any ideas?

Andy

I fitted and new throttle position sensor and I think idle air control valve.

I seem to remember it being a combination of the two causing a problem.
