   When I got my new Saxo it was stuttering whilst I was driving at a steady speed, so I changed the Spark plugs and fuel filter which fixed the problem, now the problem has returned and I don't know what else the problem could be.
   
   During that time I had an MOT and the car was fine after that.
   
   As of last week the car is starting to stutter again, Do anyone have any idea's on what the fault might be?
   
   Someone has suggested the air filter, Could that be a factor?

   Just know what you want to say in your head before you talk!
   
   But on a serious note probably coilpack needs changing mate.

   Does no one have a sense of humour any more sheesh. I am thinkning coil pack because it would have been disturbed when you changed your plugs. Best thing is to try one from another saxo to prove it is the problem mate then go from there. Good luck
