I think something bad is going on with my engine, can anyone suggest what it might be?
The car starts fine, runs fine, but sometimes if I floor it from like 60mph it accelerates but judders/misses?/hesitates, it doesn't seem good, so I go off the power. I thought maybe I had something in the fuel system so I used some redX injector cleaner, its had 4 treatments on full tanks, I thought it was cured cause I didn't get any problems for a week or 2 but it seems just when I forget about it, it happens again. I don't thrash the car all the time.
I cleaned the Maf sensor too, hard to do much else. I figured it could be electrical or fuel related, pump on the way out, coil packs, leads etc. I did the paperclip thing on the diag port & its 55 - no malfunction.
Any ideas?? im going to have to take it to a garage I guess but it would be good to have ideas of what it is most likely to be before I take it.
