hi i have had my vauxhall astra for 3 years nearly and since just after we bought it, there as been a problem with the tickover where the revs are uneven and it stalls, sometimes it can do this quite regularly and other times its ok, normally it isnt too bad when the engine i warm but it can happen at any time, there is a slight miss fire throughout the driving range, it also has a problem of sticking at any certain rpm, such has just touching the acelerator in neutral, and holding it say at 2500 rpm, it misses stalls and sometimes even revs higher without you moving your foot, i have changed the ht leads, distributor, distributor cap and rotor arm, spark plugs, cfi unit, and coil, it is regularly serviced and yet still no idea wot is causing the problem, any1 got any suggestions?
