This sometimes happens! Some years back I had various poor running problems, but once sorted, the car has been exemplary. The garage wanted to change the AMM. But they didn't have the correct model. However, after a while he came back and said that they found that it was just the connector. Have they had the correct AMM, then they would just have replaced it for £250 and I would have been none the wiser. I'm quite sure that this mechanic was very good, it only shows that poor running problems can be a headache even for a seasoned mechanic. 1. It could be a connector to a sensor. 2. It could be the CAT. It may be blocked - check if it rattles. 3. It could be the head gasket. 4. It could be a vacuum leak. 5. It could be the DI. 6. It could be something else.
