Hi.
When my car is idling and I blip (Only gently depress it) the throttle to about half way the engine revs go up and then drop to about 400rpm and the engine almost stalls, also there is a strong noticebale smell of petrol.
Is this just the engine slightly flooding due to poor throttle control or something more serious, perhpas my s**tty lumpy idle (Compression Rings) |

Mine's done this since I've had it and mine does what Lunner posted about too, I've decided to live with it until I get a new car. |
