alot of fuel cleaners are good with cats now, it wouldn't hurt running one through.

I use either STP fuel system cleaner or Forte system cleaner, (forte is hard to get hold of) both are safe for cats but if your worried have a read of the bottle, for £5 its worth a try...I normally run one through every 4-5months and engine seems to wake up afterwards and tick over smoother.

Thanks - I will

I'll bet that the TB is coked up...bit of a PITA to strip down but worth a go.

Also try cleaning the MAF (air flow sensor) with good blast of contact/switch cleaner

I hate to say this but I do not know what the TB is

thanks for your reply

Not sure if resetting the ECU would help but you could try that first.

What fuel do you use, have you run a fuel system cleaner though recently?

Does it do it all the time or just when cold/hot?

Thanks for your reply

I use normal unleaded and have not run any type of fuel system cleaner ( I thought that catalytic converters meant no fuel additives could be used at all) the car is 5 years old now - I would say hot or cold makes no difference but less noticeable cold

thanks

I have a sportcross is300 which slightly pauses at about 1800 rpm

This is not major but would be nice if correctable
