    Default car playing up need help asap

    hey guys as of last friday, my car seems to be playing up
    it runs fine for the first few minutes then after a while it sort of just struggles to rev and it sounds like its gurgling, and poping i got told it could be numerous things
    iv then replaced the coil pack, o2 sensor checked all my fuel lines and there all on tight, replaced the air filter checked all the plugs and leads and its still persisting,
    sometimes i cant even put any pressure on the accelerator as it just pops and gurgles and sometimes comes to a complete stall.

    has anyone got any ideas as i would like to go away for xmas, and not having a car also is restricting me from working as i dont have a reliable vehicle.


    cheers

    G'day mate,

    When was your fuel filter changed last? Any air leaks anywhere? Not sure if there is a bit where you can see any error codes..

    Could be your exhaust cat convertor blocking up.. Out of everything you've listed it's the only thing i could think of :S

    Fuel filter also?

    It sounds like something that gets hot stuffs it, so try the exhaust first possibly?

    iv had the car a month its got 155 thousand on it

    i replaced:

    plugs
    leads
    oil filter
    pump
    oil
    flushed it replaced coolant
    fuel pump
    fuel filter
    o2 sensor
    coil pack

    iv put a 80 litre tank with my standard tank fuel pump it was working fine but do you think it could have played it up ?
    its just really starting to annoy me but my crank angle should be fine cause even when the car is hot it still starts first crank and has no problems ?

    i might re check my leads and plugs but i have no idea, anyone know how to bridge the plug to get the error codes ?

    You said you've changed the tank, so possibly a bit of rubbish on the pick-up?
    Could be worth checking, it's happened to me a couple of times the motor starts and runs ok until it starts starving for fuel, and then the fun starts.
    I've never been poor, just broke

    try tip some cold water on your CAS when its running like a pig

    Change your IAC Idle air control
    Your fuel filter isnt the wrong way?
