another problem:tard: .when my car has been idling for a while or if i have been sat in traffic etc sometimes when i go to set off the engine will just lose power all together and the revs drop off suddenly for a split second and then it will do it again on and off(making me look like an idiot going down the roadlol )it seems to be okay when i get going and only seems to be when it gets hot.any ideas??
