   Cars running like shite
   
   thought it was the icv, fitted that, no good
   
   exhaust fumes smell of petrol, car will start to struggle while idling then cut out
   
   pulling away seems to swamp the engine and it starts chugging and losses all power
   
   all happened since I've changed the manifold
   
   got a feeling the lambda may be nackered?
   
   Any help would be great
   
   cheers guys n girls
