    Running issue need some help

    I recently had a gear box issue which took the car off the road for a little while...... seeing it was off the road i put in larger injectors, larger MAF and changed the software. Since getting the car back on the road Ive had a few issues with how its been running, with alot being due to vac/boost leaks.
    I have sorted all the vac/boost leaks but the car still plays up a little , so im at the point where i need some other opinions on what it could be.

    The issue i am having is that the car is missing @ cruise .....under load its fine no problems and idle is fine, but when you are cruising along it will miss every now n then and it seems that the throttle when lightly touched provokes the same response.
    So throw some suggestions at me what i should be looking for as im at the end of my knowledge.
    I will add that i only have a V-checker pro and no access to vag-com.

    Ive done the throttle body rest a few times with no change.
    I would have thought if the ignition module was dodgy it would do it all the time not just @ cruise ?

    What are the plugs like Steve?

    Is it producing more power than before the changes?

    I reckon you need to monitor the fuelling as well Steve.

    Do you want to borrow my Innovate logger? Goes in the spare bung in the downpipe.

    not necessarily so, so often ignition and fuel problems are misdiagnosed for eachother. ignition can do wierd unexplainable stuff.
