It takes 2 turn overs just to get her going.When she does finally turn over and start it feels like a violent shake under the bonnet. I've been to 2 places to have a fuel pressure test done etc, but none can seem to find anything wrong.Had my battery checked because I thought it might be going, but all is fine there. Anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this? so annoying, and when I give her a boot full it feels as though it's struggling to accelerate. Car is a 2007 BF II turbo, only done 94,000k. Any help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also will pick up some injector cleaner today, thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car has had no problems starting from a cold start(14hrs), and seems like it's not having such a hard time accelerating, specially from the lights where before it seemed even 4cyl toyotas were able to overtake me. Will see how it goes over the next week or so before I decide to change plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
