btmaldon Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 When was it last serviced. Was the fuel filter changed. Could be a number of things including the coil pack, Leads, Plugs, partially clogged injectors. Start with the normal service parts first if these haven't been changed for a while. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Just saw your other post which says you've done the plugs, leads and fuel filter. It could be the coil pack. I would also check all the vacuum hoses for leaks. Try spraying some WD40 around the intake area and vacuum pipes while it is running. If the engine note changes you have an air leak. Trouble is there are so many things it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wase16ll Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 , from your description sounds like a flat spot on acceleration, would agree with check for air leak, would also give a rough idle that wouldnt be too noticable when cold, as it would be running a richer mixture at that point most common place is the breather pipe/s collapse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
