if you pi55 around with the hazard warning switch (you know what I mean) and take your key out it when the engine is running it carries on running. don't know if this is the casue f your problems but its the only time I have ever heard of that happening.

count to 10, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10. You cooked her 9's !!!!!

Mine did that but touch wood it hasnt done it since. I havent a clue what it was! but it was weird. It was raining really hard so i put in done to that. It sounds silly but its the only thing i could think of.

have you recently rewired your sterero coz i put my red and yellow wires around the wrong way and you dont need the keys to start it just push and go its that or i cant get the stereo to remember the presets and that pisses me off to much

u sure timing is rite? u changed spark plugs?
from my bookie here it says it could also be inlet manifold leak, dodgy cooling system and incorrect valve clearences.
so u bet be hoping a new set of spark plugs helps d problem :D
ps this aint taken from haynes manual.
