Check everything under the hood (bonnet) for any vacuum leaks. All hoses, air intake, manifold, etc…

The brothers, Tom and Ray, can make with the flippant responses; but, if another respondent does, it gets censored by the (Tom and Ray described) “web lackeys”. Technically, I agree with Roadrunner. Untechnically, I think you could do what the censors removed, which is: Remove the leprechaun from under the bonnet, take his penny whistle from him, and stuff him into the boot until he tells you where his pot of gold is.
