#1: Having trouble accelerating Author: omricn, Location: israelPosted: Fri Apr 04, 2014 2:10 pm ---- Hi guys,
I'm having a problem these last few days, which is getting worse now, when I accelerate, regardless of what gear I'm in, the car will have trouble accelerating, it will stutter all the way to about 3500-4000rpm, it's kinda hard to explain, it won't accelerate in a smooth manner, I can feel the engine pulsing every second and inside the car you can feel it's 'jumping'.. When in 1st and starting to accelerate, you can feel the engine is kinda suffocating until it gets a power boost, and then it will stutter as above. Any thoughts?

and if nothing from above,you might have the cat is blocked,is your check engine light on or not?

I don't really think i'ts a fuel starvation issue, because I've had that once in a vw polo and it felt different, I tend to go more for the spark plugs\coil pack option, second guess will be a sensor, could also be the stepper? I just hope this isn't going to be a nightmare to find out..
Gonna go straight to my uncle's garage day after tomorrow and will update.
