Hi. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what could be wrong with my car. I have a 2000 1.8 Petrol LX model. for the last week or so the car feels very slow and all of a sudden will loose power and start jumping. There are no lights coming on the dashborard but the only odd thing is is that when the car is low on petrol (altough not as low for the warning light to come on) the jumping seems to happen more often and is more extreme. Has anyone heard of this or what could be causing this?
 
dirt in the fuel line,dirty spark plugs,dirty air filter,buy some redex at the petrol station and follow the instructions,put some in your fuel tank and fill it up with fuel,if your putting redex straight through the carbs though go somewhere like an industrial estate after work hours as that part of the redex treatment produces loads of smoke,it scared the bejesus out of me the first time i used it down the carb i thought i'd blown the engine!!! seriously though it produces masses of smoke,so go somewhere your not going to annoy folks
also take your airfilter out and bang it a couple of times on the kerb,get as much dirt and dust out of then put it back in after the redex
