Stoney871 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 A fault like this is very dangerous and needs looking at immediately to avoid an accident. There is obviously a serious error occurring. It may be something as simple as the throttle position sensor though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvin Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Changed the TPS,still the same.No management light on,so no clue as to why it is doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Does it stall or start juddering etc? Does it only happen after a cold start up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef,it doesn't judder or stall,it's just like there is no power for 20 seconds and then all of a sudden it will just take off.But that 20 seconds is scary as you're stuck in the middle of the road with no chance of movement,it seems to be just from cold.

stef123 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 So does this happen regularly or just intermittent? It could be worth getting someone with a live data scanner to have a look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
