SteveB Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Check the throttle position sensor. Symptom of this being faulty is trying to pull away normally results in car hiccuping, but if you ease away really slowly like you're in a queue of traffic then the car is smooth.

Stu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Have you identified if it's a certain throttle position or a certain engine load where this occurs? Is it always at the same engine speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
