Here we go again..
It seems this is an age old problem on this engine and its started with mine now. 145k, well maintained and never missed a beat until the last 6 months.
Starts on the key in all weathers so fuel system is fine, no errors show on OBD2 and none show on garage diagnostics.. It only cuts out(misses a beat is a good analogy rather than cuts out) when accelerating from low..ish down the rev range - the gas pedal has so little movement on it I suspected a dead spot on the pot or something but changed it and still the same. Its only doing it now and then but its a bit unnerving when you are pulling across a junction or roundabout and it hesitates in front of a car.
I thought it could be a bit of gunge floating around in the system but surely the ECU would react to flow and pressure changes?
I hate these intermittents..much rather it just crapped out and I can sort it.
Any ideas
