Could be any number of drama's! Plug leads are the most likely starting point. What is the service history like, how many k's, what series,etc.
Could be plugs, vaccuum leak, coil pack, fuel filters, The list is long! Need more info.

Cheers,
Mike

Oxy sensor may be buggered?

Mum's was idling rough and using stacks of fuel. A new oxy sensor sorted it out. Is your car blowing black smoke on idle or WOT?
