   I recently bought a 01 gold saxo with 103k on it. After restoring it back to everything origional i noticed that when the car is at a stand still in nuetral if its reved to over 4000rpm it sounds like theres something rattling and struggles to idle again occassionally cuttin out. Anyone have any idea what the cause is

   Undo all the sensors attached to the intake/throttle body. And clean with carb cleaner.
