Had the 8v mot done 2 weeks ago. Passed straight away. But i had the turnin off problem due to battery not begin charged as it had been parked up for 5 months. Now 3 days ago when I decided to get it taxed and transfer the private reg bak on it had a mess up just after I had spent 150 on it. It needed jump starting which I did and it kept turnin off about a min later. So I revved it up ryt hard as it was poussin me off n I heard a pop from front end. When the car is started from a cold start everything seems normal within a min as it startsbt warm up when I drive or rev it up slow or quick the engine shudders like there no fuel n it's gna break down but there plenty fuel n it shudders and vibrates the whole car. But like I said when its cold its Alryt, plus massiv loss of power . Please help me sum1

Your battery is knackered.had the same prob a while ago after a flat battery.
Try a different battery if you can,put money on it thats the problem

Sounds like its misfiring... Spark plugs/dizzy perhaps....
Low battery wouldn't lead to juddering as the alternator should be enough to power the engine alone... Might have a clogged throttle body, 8 valves are good for the too... Leads to stalling...

Redders are u still livin in Livers ? I've been to 3 diff mechanics 1 says breather pipes other says ur heads goin n other says it kud b anything....

Check out the cable on the crank speed sensor, also worth testing are the fuel pump relay and ecu relay.
