Help. My car is feeling very sick

[Roohul_7486]

I am need of some help with my car.
Its a Fiat Bravo 1.2 sx.
The car starts fine, revs fine but from last night, everytime I set off, it seems to struggle to pick up any speed. There seems to be no throttle response and it keeps on juddering, in every single gear and at every speed. With all that, this morning the car is now starting to sound like a subaru and i can also hear some popping noise from the exhaust.
Can someone please halp me?

Any help will be appreciated.

When was car last serviced....

Plugs & Leads, Air/Oil/fuel Filter, Oil.... This info will help most on here to diagnose...

Not pointing the finger or saying its this but simalar thing happened to my 1.8 a couple of months ago where it was chugging and juddering in every gear i ended up putting it down to being the Lambda Sensor of which i think the 1.2 has two of, one on the downpipe from manifold and one near the cat convertor(guys correct me if i am wrong) anyway i swapped mine for the famous ebay universal one (which everybody hates) and problem solved. No more judder and ticks over fine.

Hope this helps or starts you on the road to recovery.

And the beat goes on..........

Car was part serviced in January. Full service the year before. Dont think the Leads have ever been changed, looks old to me.

If it is the Lambda Sensor, is it easy to do it at home?

Well easy, its a 17mm spanner (i think) a bit of WD40 when exhaust is cold dont do it after car been run nasty burns on the fingers.... Lambda looks like a spark plug coming out of the exhaust piping unclip the lead running to it unscrew and replace with genuine fiat or if you replace with ebay uni you'll have to cut the wires and attached the female side of the clip back on the wires diagrams are provided with the universal one.... like i said ebay one has been fine for me but people say there hit and miss some have had problems...

And the beat goes on..........
