Strange thing happened

[Monkey3.0]

Hadn't driven the car for 3 days got in this morning and started and revs dropped to almost stall, seemed to be struggling for air or lack of petrol. Revved car and again and was hesitating badly. Ok so start to worry switch car off then back on again and all seemed fine? Took car for a run and was absolutly fine? Never done this before. I usally use Tesco 99 but had just filled up with Shell V-power (which does feel better) cant be that could it?

Anyone else expereinced this, is it anything to worry about?

Cheers

Maybe just the cold weather the last few days? I've had similar once in a while but waiting a few seconds and trying again seemed to fix it

Sounds like coils on their way out!

What are the coils? Sorry for being stupid

I'm no expert but I guess jamiez means the ignition coils:

The coils are now on each spark plug unlike tho good old days where you just had one, and generally it's recommended to change all 4 or 6 in one go.
