   The EM light came on in my VTR yesterday but the car was driving fine. Today i was driving for about 2minutes before the EM light flashed and the car started juddering, and pushing the throttle seemed to cause a sort of whistling noise (from the rear I think). It felt as if I had to keep the revs up to stop it stalling.
   
   I have read a few threads and the common ones seem to be plugs, fuel pumps and coilpack. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm rubbish with engines so need some help please!
   
   Thanks,
   Alex
