It could be a dirty throttle body or faulty maf sensor. Also check the breather pipes for leaks or blockages. :smiley:

Coil? If the coil is buggered they usually play up when up to running temp. Iv had 2 coils that played up when engine got warm.

there was a new coil in the boot? i take it you have just bought the car then? that could be a clue  :wink:
are you sure its not the old coil they stuck in the box when they changed it and the new one is on the car if so.
