wtf???
wtf???
i was giving my car a bit of acceleration then once i backed off the throttle it was jerky and when i came to change down a gear the revs went to zero and the engine cut out it started back up straight away but was really hesitant and raw petrol smell coming from exhaust with smoke and the rotten egg smell from the cat. i let the car sit for a couple of hours and it started ok but idle is at like 200rpm and its really misfiring. any ideas?

If you have a rotten egg smell from the cat.. it is plugged and will need to be replaced. Put your hand over the end of the exaust pipe (only when cold.. dont burn yourself) and have someone start the engine.. you shouldnt be able to keep your hand on the pipe.. but if there is a blockage in the cat.. the pressure coming out the back of the pipe will be weak. A blocked cat can definitely cause the symptoms you described as well.

You can still get CEL functionality by connecting a 12v bulb between FEN and B+ in the diagnostic box.
