Hi, first post and unfortunately looking for advice!
Purchased an 05 1.2 Ibiza a couple months ago - problems started about a month ago when it was having trouble cold starting. This seemed to fix it self (battery?) , then a few weeks ago upon starting up it was hunting between 500-1200 revs - rang a mechanic mate who told me to give it a good thrashing to clean out the air filter etc - this seemed to work and was ok for a while.
This was happening on and off and after its much due service (oil, filters, but didn't manage spark plugs as couldn't get coil pack off) it was fine for 2 weeks apart from occasionally cutting out when sitting at a traffic light or parking
Today it cut out at a traffic light again, and as I drove off the hunting started again and it seems a lot worse - acceleration was very erratic, I could have my foot down and it would hardly accelerate - I drove it home down back roads and I could not get it over 30mph.. Sitting idling it hunts, engine shakes with revs and there's an ill sounding tick coming from what i think is the timing belt
I have a video if it helps
After googling it could be a sensor, spark plugs, coil pack or timing belt??
Any help much appreciated! Cheers
