Running really rough

[judas]

Going into work on Friday I noticed the Tuscan was running a bit rough: it seemed to be struggling when I put my foot down, almost stuttering. A call to TMS suggested that the plugs may have become fouled as we've been running the car is a lot of slow moving traffic, and a good blast with plenty of high revs should hopefully clear things.

Well, we've just got back from having a good blast, plenty of varied driving conditions and lots of high revs, but it's still misbehaving - mis-firing and stuttering when you pile the revs on. It's fine if you bring them on gradually though.

Any clues before I have to take yet another trip back to TMS?

Yeah, I'd figured that would be the case Got it booked in, but not until the middle of next week. Hope it's nothing too serious, like an engine rebuild - it only has 2,500 mile on the clock and I need it sorted for my holiday in France/Germany in the middle of May.

Hmmm, thanks.... I think...



Edited to add: we bought our Tuscan off the showroom floor, and it would have been an October 2002 build or thereabouts
