Had some promblems for the last week and would greatly appreciate any advice/feedback.

The symptoms:

- Whilst at standstill, idle waivers after a short while, then stalls
- Car hesitates under acceleration
- At under 2k revs in any gear, running is very rough/hesitant
- Ocassional strong smell of fuel at start up
- Possible higher fuel consuption than usual

I had a major service done 2 months back, I've cleaned the stepper motor, read Steve's bible, and am stuck for the next step, bar a trip to the dealers...

Any diagnosis gratefully received!

It turned out to be knackered Lambda sensors, gummed up injectors and incorrect timing...

Many thanks to Austec Racing of Gatwick for their extremely prompt and very pleasant service
