Steve X16XE had the same issues, as do I.
Steve found he had a blocked breather pipe, so cleaned it and it the car has run perfectly since - I'm going to be doing mine tomorrow as I think mine may be blocked too.
That's on an X16XE btw.

Where does a breather pipe go from and to? As I have the same problem! Exceptionally bad at low revs in second!
Changed fuel filter yesterday, and that has helped a great amount, but its still there!
