not been using my sport much at all recently and its started juddering at low revs wen driving..also likes to rev itself whilst stationary and is using in my opinion a bit to much fuel..sometimes takes two turns to start wen warm also.i know it isnt leads,cap,rotor as i replaced them before xmas and it has just passed an emissions check so i was hazarding a guess at possibly the air flow meter or something fuel and air related..anyone any help?my neighbour had a 325 touring which was acting similarly and leads cured his..but this is different.any help more than appreciated :)

right-car is pissin me off now-not had chance to clean up icv-however the car continues to rev itself when idling and heated up,occasionally cuts out and it is a pig to start when heated up..also-fuel consumption is a joke-50 miles to 20 quid??any suggestions guys?
