Citroen Xsara Picasso engine revs up
Variant: Xsara
Model Year: 2005
Categories:
Engine & Drivetrain
I just got a new ignition coil for my car on Friday. Now (after 2/3 min. drive) the engine starts to 'bolt' a little, like it's not running smooth. If I press the clutch the engine pulsates like I am reving the gas (like an impatient driver). When I just have the engine running while the car is standing (eg. at traffic lights) the engine revs up like I press clutch and gas full on at the same time. Any suggestions?

Thanks. When they changed the ignition coil they checked the spark plugs and leaking. Where would I check an air lock??

Sorry. Vacuum!?

It's not an air lock , it's any vacuum hoses , breather hoses leaking and drawing air
