I am having trouble with the throttle on my C3, when cold it starts ok but has a misfire but revs fine, when warm the throttle stops responding, when pressed fully down the engine just surges but won't rev up. Any ideas?

Hi macca793, things like the coil pack, plugs and even injectors can give problems like this. Can you pick up any error codes with an OBD Reader?
