Having problems with my car at the moment, sometimes it runs fine and then it will just lose power an start being jerky and just generally not right. Any ideas what this could be? Cheers

You'll have to try a better description than that, more details?

EML on for a start?

I'm got bets on the Air Flow Meter, unplug it and see if it runs better (won't be perfect and you'll have an EML on but you'll find out if that's the problem!)

No lights on dash. Where is the air flow meter located in the engine bay?

Follow the pipe-work from the air box towards the throttle body, it'll have a plug on it - you can't miss it.

TBF no point replacing components until you can prove which one is it fault IMO.

Think I've sorted it, reset the gap on the spark plug electrode and cleaned them up, works a treat now!
