As of today going down the motorway my car started to judder a bit, then stopped so i ignored it. But about 30 mins later it started to do it again but harder and when i stopped in traffic the revs dropped to about 600rpm and then cut out. It also took a while to get it started again for some reason and I had to have my foot on the throttle for it to start.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Did a fault code check using a mates code reader.
P0130 - something to do with the lamba sensor, but clears when i give the car a clouting so that one doesnt bother me as I've had it since my lamba sensor was moved.
P0400 - "ERG Flow Malfunction", No idea on this once so could anyone spread some light on this please as how to fix that one.
Any help is very much appriecated.
