I've got a similar problem I think.

Afraid to drive the car at the moment as the cause of the problem could be various things i.e. coil packs, maf sensor, lambda sensor, air leak and of course plugs and leads but they were changed about 12 mths ago.

Anyway car is going to AP Motors on thursday so they can have a look and sort it.

Hope you get yours fixed.

definently coilpacks - they become brittle. Had to replace 2 already.

I'm pretty sure engine light comes on at failure not if it's on its way out.

Will let you know when I get it fixed what the problem was.

I can see big £ signs for this though!
