Hi again, my vn has been running great for the past couple of months (its dual fuel) and just today i decided to give it a bit of a drive in petrol, it was running normally then it started to bog a bit wen i first take of from the lights etc, on my way home it got to the point that it would slowly bog a bit then almost stall, slow right down to almost 20km/h then like clear up again and be all good for a few minutes and do it again, wen i got home and out of the car it really stunk like something was burning, any ideas? thank you!
 

If it doesn't start its a Ford!
If it doesn't stop its a HOLDEN!

do you run your petrol at least 1nc a week? cause I guessing you got alot of scale and sh1t settled into your tank thats been picked up by the pump and filter! Also fuel will turn to crap if you don use it over time ( basicaly it will lose its octane and turn to water).... so if you dont use it enough it will run like crap, do a fuel filter change and some injector cleaner ... take it for a drive up and down the freeway perferably and c how that goes!
