   So I've had my saxo now for about 4/5months, since owning it the EML has been turning on and off almost randomly, one day the car will run fine, others it will have real problems idling, sometimes almost dieing (dropping down to maybe 100rpm?).
   
   Been to the garage a couple times now, they've just reset the error and brought it back, went in again today and he suggested I changed the coilpack, which I've now done, still got the problem tho
   
   What else could it be?

   Take it to another garage sounds more like a faulty lambda sensor.

   Ok guys update time, back in the garage again this time they have changed injector #1 as they said it was fucked basically, haven't seen the car myself but my mum took her car over today and he said my cars now running 75% better no problems whilst driving just terrible on idle still, apperently the coilpack is also fucked on #1 and to get a new one, my question is; is there a deeper problem causing this all or is there a chance my car will actually run properly for the first time? lol

   Thing with coil packs is they break down over a period of time,so its possible.What kind of coil pack have you got?IE the square type on the end of the head or the type which fits over the plugs in a line?If its the former then try a new ignition lead 1st mate.
