Very difficult to predict the problem,could be a number of things.The first thing is to check the stored codes in the ECU with a code reader.The existing codes can be cleared,and when the MIL flashes up gain check the stored code.
If you have a garage nearby with diagnostic equipment the will advise. |

On a petrol motor of that age, I'd suspect the lambda sensor but you do need the fault codes read.
Any low cost code reader will work on the petrol models so it is more cost effective to buy one than to pay a garage to do it. (buy the type that also show live sensor data as well as this type are more useful that a basic reader/clearer) Ron

drains
If you need a hand with the plenum drains and fancy a trip down to Gävle PM me.
