Not at all ben!!! it could point to a throttle body problem.... for some reason, your mixture is incorrect at idle and ok above idle... I've never owned an SPI...

you haven't filled up at tesco recently have you?????

"Cooper J" By breather Pipes do you mean those little black, yellow and red plastic ones that run all over the show?

[zombiedead]

The garage had it on is machine and he explained the red outs it had given,and the main culprit was the crank sensor £70's worth.

[Sprocket]

MM ok then

I can still run through a few things??????????...................

[Wesser]

What do you mean "the red outs" ??

[zombiedead]

I mean read outs,SORRY.Got the car back today ,the invoice reads Investigate cause of erratic idle speed and cutting out,carry out fault code test,crank sensor fault,carry out live data tests M.A.P sensor readings poor,traced to split vacumn pipe,correct and re check.renew crank sensor and clear down fault
