Hi all
I'm new here hope someone can help.
My Problem: If I start my vehicle and drive of it has a random occurring flat spot when pulling away (more so when hot). Noticed that if I drive somewhere, say on a freeway, it has no problems even if I get to intersections and so forth. It pulls away no problem but then I stop and shut of. Restarting after a while (5min - 1 hour or more) it happens again.
Did a diagnostic and said possible fuel pump or map sensor faulty, I was adviced to go for the map sensor but no luck :bang:
Flat spot explained: Very low stuttering idling and when I press accelerator it takes 2 - 3 sec for the revs to pick up and has blue/black smoke smelling of fuel.
Got advice that it may be the Lambda sensor but very scared to fork out dough and have it not be the problem again
