After coming back to the car from Asda (got hungry during night

), I went to start the car it started but the revs were at about 100rpm and the car just stayed there so i put my foot on the accelerator it will after about 3 seconds rev properly but I need to keep reving it to keep the engine alive and after about 10 seconds its fine.

EDIT: Also the car has recently doing something wierd, When coming to a stop at a junction I dip the clutch and the engine will keep its revs to 1,100 rpm then when i stop it goes down to idle. Is this normal?

Anyone know what the problem is and how I could fix it?

Many thanks

Oliver

EML is on but only when in "town" mode because of the lamba sensor being futher back so the ecu doesnt get a decent reading when im not giving it some.

I cleaned my HT lead ends (spark plug end) and it starts now, sounds a bit rough every so often but still revs when in netural while the car is moving :s

I didnt think the error code would stay there, but if i drive the car hard until 6,000 rpm and then stop after 5 seconds the EML goes off.
