So....
Recently my 1.4 LX has started running a bit ruff. The main problem is when I am travelling at 20/30 mph at a steady acceleration and the car will just pull back for some reason. It will only happens for a split second and it only does it every so often, about once every 15/20 minutes.
Also the engine has also gradually started sounding a bit louder and a bit "tractory" when sat still in neutral or first gear with the clutch down.
It has has a full service about 2 month ago (with bosch super 4's) and it was running great just after theservice, this problem has only started days ago.
Any ideas??

Thanks for the reply....
I cleaned and polished the throttle body and inlet pipes when I
t was serviced it so I don't think it will be that. I've had a look at the MAP sensor and it didn't seem to bad but I cleaned it up anyway, it didn't have any effect though. But one thing I did notice is that the MAP sensor looks different from ones I've seen on ebay etc, because it doesn't have the pointed shape part on the end.
Is this normal?
Any further ideas?? :/

Could it be the coilpack? as the plugs i removed were NGK's, could this have done some damage at all?
