   can anyone tell me why my saxo vts is running real bad once warm. Like i say when its cold its fine but once warm the auto diagnosis light comes on then it loses all power and doesnt want to move but clears every so often the light goes out and i get my power back then it will come back on and play up again it sounds like my exhaust is blowing when it plays up but doesnt when the fault clears please HELP

   Get it plugged into a diagnostics machine before you go spending money on parts.

   Sounds like cam or crank sensor, as already said get it plugged in when cold + when warm as the ecu has 2 settings.

   Coolant temperature sensor - the green one on the thermstat housing. Cheap and quite easy to fit
