Help us help you....... :roll:

What sort of car?
What engine? Carby/EFI?
Does it do it cold/hot or anytime?

Start by checking for cracked or broken vacuum hoses.

Sometimes it doesn't do it for at least 10kms other times it does it straight away

so it could be a few things then
- vacuum hose leak or another leak on the inlet of some sort
- block idle jet
- or mabey idle mixture needs adjusting??

i guess all easy things to check, and go over ya self

Injector cleaner is not going to do a thing.

I suggest finding from here, a good suzi mechanic and getting to have a look.
