The problem occures about 8 times out of 10 when driving the car, the 2 times it drives fine.
Easy solution: disconnect the cable and make sure the butterfly flap is fully open, but I have changed quite a few traction control motors and never heard of any negative influence on engine performance.

So check the fuel pressure using the Schraeder valve and if below 3.5 bar then suspect the filter.

You might like to know I have a Rover T4 diagnostic computer in Gävle - bit far on this occasion if your car isn't running well, but perhaps good to know if anything else crops-up.
