now i got it... i will try cleaning it with some cleaning-agent first... it might only be some carbon or dust jammed up, as i happen to check my air filter and found it evaporating and turning into ashes... it might have caused some dust to pass inside...

had tht problem a long time ago when I had to dump the stock air box for a cold ir intake stup. Pulled out the manifolds and cleaned the throttle actuator with contact cleaner. Once I got that done and reinstalled the new intake with pipes the car was running like a champ ever since

Have you tired a fuel injector cleaner? You may have dirty injectors causing this. Cheap fix and regardless wont hurt . Chevron is the best I have used. Good Luck

i thought so too,,, i was about to go to friend whose expert on injecter cleaning but he would do it the long way,,,,taking them all out and washing them.... but i think ur right i might use the chevron first..... as i said 80 % of the problem is already gone...with only a little contact cleaner through the small caped valve on the actuater....

I used a Simota 3" intake and custom-made a pipe behind the headlights, all I need is a heatshield which i'm in the process of making, the gians were most noticeable in the torque department but I really cannot tell how much I gained coz I need to dyno the car
