Try checking the throttle body. I have read on a few UK forums where periodical cleaning is required re ST150.

Is it trowing codes?, there could be lots of reasons. Maybe its sucking air after the MAF sensor or throttle body.

No codes came up apart from p2111 & p2110 but i think thats becouse we disconected the throttle body to see if it would tick over cleard them codes and they havent come up again. Going to plug into diagnostic tonight to see whats going on
