HiWhat is the car doing, we have a 1.8 as well, not long after we got it, she was running like a bag of nails, the revs kept dropping and picking up everytime we came to a stand still, if it hadnt cut out before stopping, it work out to be an air mass meter, took it to 3 garages that gave me 3 different outcomes so took it to a proper diagnostics place and he sorted the problem with in half hour,ThanksLee
