Hi all,
I've posted before about my sluggish 110 before but I can't find my post now so will start afresh.

When it's running right, it pulls hard and strong with no hesitation at all but when it's in slug mode, it drives like it's running on one cylinder!

I have tried the following with no success:
Red plug for oil, none
Unplugged the sensor on top of the air intake
Sprayed contact cleaner in, on and under everything that even looks electrical
Freed up and greased the wastegate

None of the above have made any difference. 3 starts out of 5 it will run crap and it's totally random which 'mode' I get.

However, I have just worked out that when running in crap mode if I drive down a hill quite fast in say 3rd gear and then come off the throttle and let gravity work against the engine braking, this seems to cure the problem.

Is there a vacuum effect or something that could be fixing this temporarily?

It's driving me nuts so could do with a permanent fix if poss' :)
