My dads zs 120 is sticking occasionally at 2k rpm and then will sort it sekf out if you pumo the accelerator a few times. Not sure if itd throttle sensor or the actual throttle body. Any ideas?

Theres little bits of white mayo on dipstick though now so its leaning more towards although it only does 18 miles a day though so could be condensation. will check the inlet manifold gasket. The heater does stay warm though and doesnr go cold. When the expansion tank was empty could here water circulating around car which was weird has stopped now after putting coolant in and hasnt seemed to have dropped out again as of yet? Seems a bit odd.

And no the car starts very easily. Reset the throttle sensor doing the ignition pumping acelerator 5 times and then turning off then starting. Its stopped the juddering now and weird idling.

Told my dad to getva full service oil engine flush spark plugs etc and get them to have a look around for any signs of anything.
