Any ideas, there are no engine warning lights on???? Replies: Posted By: tommyspanner Date Posted: 06-May-2010 at 16:46 sounds like an air leak, check big hose between air flow meter and throttle body, they are  famous for pin holes or cuts, where jubilee clip secures them,also check the flap on the afm,to see it slides easily,good luck, tommy.
