    Have a 00 1.4 ltr petrol 16 valve car. It ticks over perfect and revs up with no miss in engine whatsoever. When driving it runs perfect up through the gears through acceleration but when at a constant speed starts chucking. It also chucks if being driven easy. I cleaned erg valve with carb spray and put it back on but no difference. Could somebody help me please :)

    If you read the codes it might point you in the right direction

    I'm guessing you need to clean the throttle body.

    It would most likely be rough ticking over with a dirty throttle body though i'd imagine.

    I reckon,change the spark plugs and give it a service then go from there,if it's not that then my next step would be a coil pack.

    I would check for split air intake hoses. I had exactly same issue before with opel and it turned out to be split hose between the air filter box and the throttle body.
