Backfiring :(

[Hayley]

Hello, all day today my 1.2 bravo has been juddering quite badly, its been doing it for a while now and again, but today has been worse. Just come back from shopping and on the way there i had the window open. The car started juddering as normal in second/third gear at about 2000 revs and then BANG!! i thought i had been shot at :O Wasn't til i stopped crapping my self that i heard it again and realised it was coming from the exhaust. Any ideas anyone as im gonna end up giving some poor old soul a heart attack

normally a dodgy lamba sensor causes hesitation like you are describing. i would check your ht leads spark plugs and coil pack before you buy one though.
