Citroen Saxo high revs, no cutting out, bad juddering
Variant: 1.1i petrol manual
Model Year: 1999
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
high revs at junctions and traffic lights so i sound like a boy racer, while driving at steady speed the car loses power/speed temporarily until it decides it wants to kick back in giving any driver the chance to have whiplash (lol)!
when cornering instead of slowing down the car decides it wants to speed up even though i'm braking! what is wrong? its got to the point that i hate driving it and feel lucky to have got to my destination in one piece!

get hold of some carb and injection cleaner and spray this in to the throttle body via the air box and also check that the cable isnt catching anything

Most common on these is throttle position sensor or idle control stepper motor
