not used my car since wedneaday and up until earlier when we popped out.it seemed like it was running lumpy cos in 4th when doing 30 it didnt seem to run smooth like it has done since day 1..Weird :s ive i thought it were fuel as i was running low so i put £20 in and didnt seem to do the trick....stupid car lol

Anyone? Bugging me now.:s

check ya oil lol, could be the gasket seal on the 3rd spark plug from the left , or second from the right , however you look at it,

Had this with other cars when going up hill, bit juddery? not sure what it is really, maybe something relating to sensors? or ignition>

lol ant..it still ran juddery on the way back but not as bad :s puzzled i am now.

Im wondering if that tensioner i replaced has maybe come lose? cos on way back with sat nav in the needle started bouncing.Soon as i got back into blackpool,i put the sat nav away and the needle was fine to which relates to the alternator under load. But could it be that as its been fine all this time since wednesday?

Could be the cam sensor. Do you have trouble starting? Take it to an auto electrician before it starts costing you lots of petrol.

Hi Mikey,

I know this sounds a long shot but when you say lumpy, but my MAF on the HGT caused this over certain rev's and speeds for instance 60mph 5th no problem put foot down and soon as getting near 3750rpm it would feel like i was towing something heavy same in 3rd and 4th.

May be worth checking as i know you got a couple of MAFs...

Also i had no warning lights when this was happening it was just a dirty well worn MAF...

Cheers karl,Was thinking of MAF's but like you say got no warning light on dash.
its hard to describe other than when i put my foot down my foot shakes and so does the car (well you can just bout feel it) it does when driving at constant speed too.It fires up straight away and idles fine..just when your driving.
Ill swap a maf over and see what happens,If still no avail ill wait to get that alt of Kee.

Mike

swapped my MAF earlier with 1 i had spare.warmewd it up first by going round block,then went out for a blast (as its quiet this time of day) was out about 20 mins and still made no difference.crusin at 30 in 4th and any speed for that matter i can still feel a slight judder.. :s

I'd put my money on injectors.

bloody hell u dark horse..

can they pack up just like that? 1 day fine,few days later go top use car and it running lumpy? how do i test for injectors?

cheers
