hmmmm....dont know whether that engine would have that same sort off problem as mine...
see picture... red arrows pointing at the vacuum pipe leading to map sensor... on my 1.4 sri the pipe rubbs along the hot throttle body (i think thats it) and cause a split in it... i went to a local scappie and replace it and problem sorted...no more kangarooing!
also check the inside of the pipes leading in and from the rocket cover...these get filled up with mayo and cause a blockages in them....just clean them out if mayo existing in them (highltigh in light blue)
