Run the error codes test first - it may give you/us an idea : Checking error codes VR/VS (Revised)
i have done the error codes test came up good:S

Mine has the same sorta prob. Just not as bad.
When mine is cold it's hard to start and when you hit the accelorator it lags.
I have changed the leads, plugs, fuel filter, air filter. I have also cleaned the throttle body which has helped it.
Now it doesnt do the "about to run outta petrol noise" then revs. It just lags
hey hako, could u check out my post on the diagnostics page that u linked and give some advice...
cheers.
wombles yeah bro i have the same prob with the starting too like it sounds like its going to die then fires up:S i have changed all the same stuff but the throttle body is it hard to clean?

Not at all.
Buy throttle body cleaner then...
Just remove the engine cover, remove the piping from the air box to the throttle body, open the throttle body's butterfly (the thing that lets air through, im pretty sure it's called a butterfly. Lol) to open and then spray for a bit then wipe as well as you can with a rag.
have you looked into your prob anymore?

Not currently.
My old Auto Tafe teather said something about looking at the fuel pump.
Listen to for anything wierd.
Random fact for a commy.
The engine has to go through a full cycle before it starts...

Throttle body cleaner can kill Throttle Position Sensors so take that out before you do it.Originally Posted by Wombles

Hmm... I wish I knew that before I did mine.
Guess mines still ok though.

Sancho - what diagnostics page???
Are you sure that your engine is running fine, as in no knocking or noises?... a loss of power can sometimes mean that your cam is falling out of place of its bearings... Is the power loss only down low, and once at higher revs goes good...
Cheeers

If it's like mine it's only when it's cold.
When it warms up it's fine.
hmm ill have to check that out becasue it does it even whens its running warm:S
