    Help!

    hi guys
    just need a quick diagnostics as my car is acting strange and i cant get it to mechanics til mon....

    basically the car was running great and then on cold start the revs were lumpy and the engine sounded gassy and bubbly like a motorbike or lawnmower
    then to drive the acceleration was hesitant and bumpy
    it cleared up after 5 - 10 mins driving
    however this morning my next cold start it was back
    i noticed that the problem occurs on very low revs such as picking away or ticking over or on very high revs
    but in the mid range it seems fine
    also the idle ws hunting
    all ive done is check oil and its fine
    help!


    Looking for:
    Phase 2 XC70 / V70 AWD

    Have spoken to Dave on MSN on this matter - I hope that the ignition issue can be sorted (thats what I feel about it - mind you it has been some years since I worked on the B230 engine)
