Get it plugged on to a diagnostics machine and that will tell . Will save you the hassle of everyone on here guessing and telling you all sorts of things

RIght took your adivce. Changed the AMF but also changed the exhust system and Cat due a bit of luck and getting it all free. problem is. its still doing it.
Any other ideas. When i start my car the oil light flickers on and off is that anything?

crank sensor would be my guess, oil light will probably be oil pressure switch.
