Technical intermittent dip in power at 3000 revs

[stuartp]

probably been dealt with before but i wonder if anyone elses cinq does this?
does anyone know why?
and what can be done about it (other than putting your foot to the floor)

cheers

It's the classic "Cinq Flatspot". Only thing that can releave it fully is to get an induction kit. To help though, remove the rubber ducting on the front-right side of the airbox to allow colder air in

Can also be made worse by lambda sensor troubles.

so if i go for say, the k&n induction kit that'll sort it?

was thinking of doing that anyway

good to know, i can use that as a good argument to justify spending the money to the mrs ;-)

lambda sensor?

is that part of the ecu electroniccy gubbins?

do i need my (non existant) red key for fiddling around with that?

I had a k&n which didnt fully cure the flat spot problem, my GSR induction kit however, does (but fit the kit yourself, dont let him fit it, my horn is still sticking out the front of my bumper! )

If the lambda sensor starts to fail, it can cause hesitation amongst other symptoms and won't necessarily bring the light on the dash up.

Does the GSR make a nice noise like the K&N? Also does it give any better performance.. other than fixing the flatspot? Where does one get hold of a kit?

a cool £112 but worth every penny. Noise is sufficient and power is about 4bhp increase

nicer noise than k&n (personal taste tho) and improves torque by 10-15% apparently
