Have a 94 UK, totally standard apart from backbox.

Was on way home this morning, car started fine, no problems, when I went to accelerate (only gently I might add), It was only just over the 2k mark and started to stutter a bit. This has happened before in the past and I just put it down to being cold.
However, when I was cruising along, only doing about 30ish in 4th, the revs were about 1.5k and it was juddering (if thats a word). I wasn't accelerating or easing off, just keeping it the same speed, but it was stuttering away, like it was choking.

Could this be it was just cold as it hasn't done it before, or could it be something else? I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen with theirs?

Any ideas would be great.

Many thanks,

Rich

 

Try cleaning the electrical plugs on the Maf and the throttle housing. Servisol is good for that.

got exactly the same this morning, did cleaning the suggest components fix this?

 

I'd check for loss of "HT" spark, sounds like some damp got in where it shouldn't.

 

Many thanks for replys, I took air box apart and found some leaf bits in there, after a good hoover with the dyson I checked the sensor within the box which appeared to be clean. All in all went out this morning and everything seems to be back to normal. Looking at an early start tomorrow morn again so we'll see what happens then, i'll keep posted if same happens again but i'm hoping it was just that.

With regard to 'HT', without sounding dumb, where can i find these and are they a problem to get out or to?

Ta very much,

Rich

 

Ht is High Tension, ie the leads that connect the spark plugs to the coil. My 1995 has an individual coil pack per plug so no leads but I beleive the newer ones have leads.

Hope this makes sense!

sounds like Coil packs dying..

Mines AOK now, must have just been damp or something
