QUESTION: its a 8v 97 r-reg. I changed the spark plugs about a year ago.
Thanks in advance.

ANSWER: Hello Anthony, Change the plugs and leads. Is there an engine management light on, on the dashboard ? Change the air filter (it may have gotten wet), but honestly, I think that should solve it. - Paul

QUESTION: The engine management light does sometimes come on when im driving, but if you stop the car and turn the engine off for five seconds and then switch it back on it goes off.
Thanks

Answer
Hello Anthony, take it to a garage and get a scanner hooked up to it, to tell you if there is anything wrong with any of the components. If yu can do it with the light on, there is a better chance of getting a true reading. let me know when you have done this - Paul
