Hi all,
Whilst driving home from work the other night, the engine suddenly started to "shudder" when I accelerated to speed up (as you do when you need to get in front of a truck - without flooring it). As it happened last Friday night, I spent the whole of Saturday troubleshooting what I thought was obvious like: * replacing fuel filter * replacing HT leads and plugs * Nulon fuel system clean into fuel system, however this has not solved the problem. The last thing to go (I think) is the injectors.... ? I have searched the forums here for similar troubles but have not found a similar entry, so I hope someone can help. As far as the car is concerned, it starts and idles like it should, but when I try to accelerate quicker than normal (mid range or more I guess you could call it) the engine shudders with no response and I may as well be driving a mule drawn cart!!! HOWEVER... if I accelerate "moderately" the engine seems to respond ok'ish. Would this be due to the injector(s) being dirty (suddenly due to bad petrol) or something else ? Any pointers would be appreciated. |
