#1: Trouble accelerating Author: Sam19, Location: NottinghamPosted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 4:56 am ---- Recently I have been having trouble accelerating in my car. It isn't all the time and it isn't in a certain gear but sometimes when I change gear and press the accelerator, the car judders and feels as if it's in the wrong gear and is going to stall.
Anyone know what this might be?
#2: Re: Trouble accelerating Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 4:58 am ---- Spark plugs, Coil pack.
Its the only way to be sure without spending money on things you may not need.
#3: Re: Trouble accelerating Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 5:31 am ---- Diagnostic won't do anything.
When was it last serviced?
#4: Re: Trouble accelerating Author: Sam19, Location: NottinghamPosted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 5:40 am ---- Im not sure. I haven't serviced it while I've owned the car and thats been 2 years...but I was abroad for a year and a half of that time. But is probably due a service!
#5: Re: Trouble accelerating Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 5:41 am ---- Best bet is give it a service, oil, filters and plugs, then see how it is.
Makes sure to use Bosch Super 4 plugs.

Why wont diagnostic work? Thats the idea of it instead of wasting mega bucks on parts that aren't needed. Always worked for me and no doubt lots of other members on here, your talking b*****ks fella !!!!

Is the EML on/been on?
#9: Re: Trouble accelerating Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 12:15 pm ---- Could be something like the TPS or maybe clutch
#10: Re: Trouble accelerating Author: Sam19, Location: NottinghamPosted: Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:56 am ---- it better not be the clutch I only had a new one 5 months ago lol. Will get it booked in for a service and see if it's any better after that.

You don't know it's the same problem for sure
So a diagnostic check would be worth while if for no other reason than to rule things out.
