real pissed off with my car now, in the morning when i turn it on, it ticks over lumpy and sort of "pulses".

then when i drive it and accerelate, normally when going fairly slow, or pulling out of junctions, it judders like its missing, and u can hear it, exhaust sounds weird. reminds me of when the head gasket had gone.

could it be some sensor???

it goes away when it warm, but still jumps when taking foot off accelerator.

almost liek a fuel problem

tension (HT) leads are plug leads

is the exhaust smoking or is it just vapour in the cold mornings?
