Right, the car starts up but idles very uneasy. When I rev it there doesn't seem to be any "oomphh" Its flat as a pancake.
Now this problem comes & goes. Only does it eery few months. It also seems to self rectify itself after being driven/run for a while.
Previously it has been that the spark plugs have been really mucky & in need of a good clean. Tried that but still no luck 
What could it possibly be? Any ideas.
Remember, as I said this problem comes & goes. Could it be something in need of a clean maybe? 
Cheers

How it normally looks
As you can see the car is clearly running rich  (That pic was taken a while ago)
But they were clean when I took them out this time

I shall check that
Thinking about it I took the filter socks off my TB's last night & there was a thinish tube that wasn't connected to anything. If it is that though why would the problem come & go

Thought the spark plugs should be glazed/brown colour in the middle if fuelling correctly.....
