wheres the best place to get it sorted pal your from kent do you know any places round here ??

well im taking it to z-tech on tuesday im already gonna be spending about 700 quid if its what u think it is how much do you think it will cost to get sorted ??

iaa unit is one but it could be a few things ajusting the base idle wont cure erratic idle,if you have an auto and the revs drop as soon as it is put in gear,might be worth checking the TPS is set to around the 0.40-0.50v mark,clean connections including injector connectors as you may be missing on a cylinder causing the car to run odd!consult is a good place to start,as this will show up the main signals from the ecu,your welcome to pop over to z-tech which aint a million miles away based in wiltshire,we can perform a consult for you FOC and can do a boost leak test ;)
