    also when i give it some curry from idle it kinda loses power then takes off as if it is starving for fuel but not sure about laying out huge costs to get injectors replaced when it may not be the problem ,kinda hoping a loan computer for a cpl of minutes to see if that is the problem will be solution to my ****ty probs

    You said this happens when it's cold.

    ONLY when it's cold? Does it behave once warmed up?

    Did this problem gradually develop and become worse over time, or was the car just suddenly a bitch one day out of the blue?

    Give us as much information (and in as many individually constructed sentences) as you can

    just started 1 night out of the blue
    become a real bitch almost straight away
    when cold it plays up until it warms up
    when warm it will just out of the blue stop and the lights on the dash will be lit up as if i have turned the ignition on
    will run at fast idle most of the time but for no reason it will fart and fart more as if the fuel line is restricted then unrestricted,up and down in revs
    soem times it will run at lower revs and stop after you take foot off accelerator pedal but as you are doin speed
    will stop at idle right out of the blue
    at the momkenbt it is running at more revs than normal and will just stop anytime it wants
    have replaced fuel filter,checked all relays and all the other **** that have had to
