Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Rotary ARM? On a si? mmmmmmm. But as Mik3y says, check all ignition connections. leads plugs, get Cat checked etc.

do u have a performance filter? as the mass air flow sensor can get dirty and cause your problem which you are getting. I know

cheers 4 the help, it turns out it was a combination of the mass flow sensor and the fuel filter, because the car has only done 38000 miles it has never had a major service and the filter was blocked, replaced it and its sound. got me power back :devil:
