What would you mean by engine surging?

Title: Re: engine surges

the car accelerates then seems to be held back as if being hit by a stong gust of wind, if you can understand that :o

Air leak? :-/

Possible? Would an exhaust leak cause it or even contribute to it?

Title: Re: engine surges

Possibly related but when car is cold, and stopping at lights for example the revs take a long while to settle when holding it on the brake and a bit more so with rear demister on

That does sound like an icv/air leak issue. Exhast leak would increase consumption/noise/smell

Brilliant, yet another problem to investigate. Just when the list was getting smaller. Any suggestions on how to solve? Or should i make a new thread?

I drive a 2.2 petrol and had exactly the same problem after cleaning the breather pipes renewing the plugs and covers and cleaning the throttle housing was still there done my head in tuned out to be the fuel pressure regulator two minuet job drives now like a dream.
