    Thanks for the fast replies so far guys.

    I forgot to say earlier that when I accelerated, if it wasn't jerking it sounded like it was sort of pinking. This did start happening just after I filled up with fuel...

    Don't know if that helps?!?

    CR had a good call on cleaning the MAF. I think you should check that first although I'm suprised that it didn't throw a CEL if it's that.

    Thanks guys 'n' gals I'll check them tomorrow.

    The Fuel filter hasn't been changed whilst I've had it and I've no idea how long, if ever, it was done before. Is it straightforward to change, and where is it?

    Not sure but I think it's in line with the gas tank.

    Should be passenger side ... about 1/2 way back. Someone who has actually changed theirs will have to chime in with more details.

    Nick, I volunteer to walk under it for you, until I see what appears to be a fuel filter.

    Same thing happened to me and it was the Fuel Pressure Regulator and Idle control valve.

    Well I replaced the filter and no different

    I also read somewhere that there is a filter inside the fuel tank that can get clogged - anyone had any experience of this?

    Also checked all plugs and all seem ok. Also unplugged them when engine was running and none seemed to make any difference

    Littlebeast - can you tell me where they are and what they look like?

    Anybody got any other ideas?

    Thanks

    Nick
