Previously had carbon deposits on the back of the car (running rich)and a hot idle (running lean?) poor power at high rpm and stumbling idle when hot.

This has all been solved by fitting a brand new air flow meter (£203 plus UK VAT).
I went through the usual things like plugs (2 bad) leads (2 bad) rotor,cap etc. but if was cleaning out the throttle air bleed valves and fitting a new air flow meter that transformed the car.

Idle now smooth as silk at 850 rpm, driveability great, more power at the top end etc.

Just need to change those worn cams now!

It just goes on and on and on but it's fun - I suppose.

Thanks to everyone who has made comments on these issues in recent weeks.

Cheers

Ian
