Well I say 1st gear because I havn't noticed it in any other gear as yet.
Car details :
MY 94 UK spec 'Prodrive edition 94PD0009'
i.e full PPP

When accelerating hard away from a standing start i.e pulling out of a junction. I seem to get a large surge of power which ever cuts in suddenly or backs off suddenly as if it was overboosting.

Could this be the boost control solenoid sticking, although I thought if this was sticking I would get less power all or most of the time.

As I beleive the solenoid fools the ECU into thinking you are getting less boost, hence if it's sticking it's gonna generate less boost until it free's and pulses.

As mentioned above I havn't yet noticed this in any opther gear, butI guess it would be alot more predominant in 1st anyway.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

The Spark plugs are due a change, so could this be the problem.

Otherwise the car drives fine, although I've only had it 2 weeks so am not sure if it's running at full power.

Does it do it all the time or just when cold?
Mine sometimes does something simalar when it has been raining hard and the cars cold.

I think it does it most of the time, although I don't get the chance to floor it in 1st that often.

The car may be in the transition from Cold to Hot when I normally get a chance to try it on the way home from work (after about 5-10mins driving).

Like the other post reads....
