Hi Guys totally new to this forum and do not have the best knowledge of cars...

I put the key in the ingnition and the car stars fine but when I press the accelerator the engine struggles and sometimes cuts out. I can drive it but it feels like im trying to start in 3rd or 4th gear:mad:

The problem goes away after 5 mins driving. I brought it to the mechanic and he said he cleaned the induction port (think thats what he said anyway) and the car seemed fine when I got it back.

Started it this morning and prob was back so assuming the car was still warm when I got it back.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

If the throttle body has been cleaned the ECU will need adapting to the throttle body using a diagnostic computer.
