It seems once again i pour money into one car, and the other gets jealous and starts being a s*** LoL. The eb is revving very strangely. I start it, it does the auto choke thing, then wen the revs drop its starts vibrating and wanting to stall. Then wen i take off it has all the power still, but it splutters and vibrates heaps. Wonderin if any of u guys know wat the problem could be? HELP!!

is this with the air conditioning turned on ?
my car idles like s**t when the air con is on sometimes.

sounds to me like an ecu mapping issue probably
disconnect the battery for 30 mins or so and then take it for a decent drive
no harm in trying :)

My EB does something sort of the same.....When the car is cold and I rev it, The revs drop and it feels like it wants to stall. It occassionally does it when it's at proper operating temperature too. But it doesn't cough or splutter.....Yet!

Maybe it's just missfiring? What you're describing is what my ED is doing. It started (a few months ago) doing it randomly, but now it's 99% of the time :oops:

In that case: leads, plugs, injectors.
(injectors are next on the list for me)
