No acceleration

[MOFO]

when i put my foot down it takes about a second or two befor the car starts to rev,

also when i take my foot off the gas the exhaust makes a spitting noise,

is this normal?

sounds like its over fueling and causing a lag/flood wen u put ur foot down and the excess fuel is getting spat out of the exhaust?

Throttle body sounds to be at fault it needs cleaning or a new one.

buy a haynes manual and read up on it.. if it says more than 3 spanners i wouldn't bother if i were you.. unless you know how to hold a spanner and arent scared.

my old 2004 1.2 16v did that. mate of mine said it was due to the electronic throttle thing. I wasn't convinced - would put my boot through the floor.... wait... then something would happen. I didn't have the spluttery exhaust though so Im probably talking poo...
