    you cant expect a car with nearly a quarter of a million kays to run the same as it "used to" my VS V6 did a similar thing, ran like a dream apart from that.

    Yeah they are getting really old... but they are tough as nuts (Mine is) just make sure you have clean injectors so try give them a clean. Also check for any error codes.
