   right now the car is running and idles is abit lumpy but soon as u touch the accelerator theres nothing at all just misfires any ideas? have swapped all sensors on throtle body and map sensor and when you unplug one it stalls so there working havent done fuel return but didnt think wud be this bad also have swapped injectors and coil pack and spark plugs

   to be fair the car starts with no sensors plugged in on the throttle body but plugging them in makes a slight difference to idle

   sounds like a fuel pressure regulator. when my 106 went from 16v to 1360 i ran ok on idle, then as soon as you touched the throttle it ran awful and then stalled.

    pretty sure it does cos i had to change my 106 which was running a VTS pump back to a 1.4 to get it to run aswell as a regulator as it was getting WELL overfuelled.
