I'd put my money on the TB, have you scanned it yet, as the codes will give you an idea what it could be.

Yeah, throttle body. Do you have the error code?
I've had a similar issue and it was the TB, but it could also be the MAF etc... I'm sure people can help you more.

thanx for your help I dont have the error code sorry was told it was some air pump thing but then told its eliminate process to be honest cant do that will cost a fortune if i did
-
yeap was the throttle bottle changed it today coz i had one of a 98 audi a4 work spot on but the engine managment light is still showing so must be the air pump as gone to
