   Right guys, ive run out of ideas...my car decideds its a good idea to run lumpy on tick over, but not all the time...
   
   5 seconds runs smooths
   Then gets lumpy
   Then get REALLY lumpy
   Then goes back to normal for all of 5 seconds
   
   Ive changed the following to no avail
   
   - ICV
   - TPS
   - Lambda sensor
   - Map sensor
   - Injectors
   - Lower g.box mount - thought it might not be a secure engine
   - Engine g.box (ecu side) bushes - again thought it might not be a secure engine
   - Oil temp sensor
   - Water temp sensor
   - Inlet manifold gaskets
   
   Nothing has made a difference, wtf is up with it, its been on the dyagnostis and nothing came back (except i need a new rear ABS sensor lol)
   So what is going on guys?
   
   Would timming be a problem??
   
   Thanks in advance

   New plugs? Maybe get some of that stuff to clear out your fuel tank?

   fault in the loom itself?
   is it a genuine icv and set up using the correct method?
