Have you been dooing something on the car that could affect timing? Timing belt replacement?...
If your timing is off your car is most likely to: give the feel of hasitition on acceleration, detonations under load, vibrations of the engine....

nt realy changed cam belt & leads new hoses thats it engine wise could it of slipped or something ?????

If you had the cambelt changed i would suggest that as a cause!
Do you get detonations under load?
Is your idle lower than it used to be?
When pressing acceleration to the flor while idling do you get delayed response?
First thing I would check the timing and adjust if there is a need

what your saying sounds spot on to symptoms yes have changed the belt how does this affect timming nothing moves when you change belt just tentioner ????

can timming be done at home or

How big a job is it to get timming done any rough cost ???

have also had intake manifold off (now bin polished )

I have had the same experience on 1.8 ADZ engine after removing dizzy,
Make sure that your leads are connected to the spark plugs in the right order at first!
