#10: Re: struggling to pick up speed? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 10:47 am ---- Similar symptoms to when my CAT was blocked. If its a faulty coilpack it would be misfiring right? So get the CAT disconnected and if the engine looks to be fine and not misfiring then it may be the CAT.
