Lumpy

[psilosimon 8]

I thought it was me not being used to the car at first and a bit kak-footed but there is a juddery lumpy stutter when pulling away in first and second. Doesn't do it all the time but it niggles me. Otherwise the motor is smooth as silk.

how does it idle? my first port of call would be to give the throttle body a clean out with some carb cleaner

yes the above worked a treat on my last one

I havn't got any carb cleaner yet, but I had a look inside and it was caked in gooey crud so I cleaned it out best I could with a cloth and it did make an improvement. So now I need to get some carb cleaner to get right inside.

well i drove to alton towers and back yesterday and my cars been running a bit crap like holding back when you takeit past 3k rpm it would like lose half of its power, but on my way back yesterday i stoped for petrol and started it again and it was running like crap from 800rpm and i was stuck 74miles away from home so i lifted the bonnet and started playing while it was running then i got a sudden shock off the coild pack, i couldnt see arcing or hear it but the shock let me know, so half a roll of eletrical tape latter and banndged ht leads i got home with all 6 pistons fireing, so if i was you i would take a good look at the coil pack and the ht leads as mine was being random too

Over the weekend I blasted the throttle body and all the intake gubbins with carb cleaner, replaced the air filter and changed the plugs. It runs sweet as a nut now. Well chuffed!
