#1: Please help. Pug very unwell Author: willb101, Location: nottsPosted: Sat Apr 07, 2012 12:50 pm ---- My pug has started with something that resembles a heavy miss fire which i know they are prone to and mine suffered this before the head gasket went. This has been replaced so pretty sure it cant be this.
When im driving at low revs if i put my foot down it doesn't go it just judders and bounces almost like something is slippin. The only way i can achieve gettin into the higher revs is to very slowly accelerate through the revs til after 3500 where i can then increase the throttle and the car reacts normally.
It is the same for every gear (except 1st) and if i were to change up too soon and land between 1500 and 3000 revs in the next gear it judders like mad!
Im worried its the driveshaft or something along those lines but have no clue really.
Can anyone please shed some light on this
Thanks

To quote spike, we can only speculate to what could be the issue and you could end spending money on parts an the problem would still exist. Take it to a mechanic give him some beer tokens and they can tell you exactly what you need

If you wanted red x is like £3 from helfauds just add to your petrol following the instructions on the bottle I used it on my old escort gti and it pulled up hills better after.
Red x is a fuel additive that 'sometimes' helps the cleaning of injectors Last edited by spike_202 on Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:05 pm; edited 1 time in total

If it has been there since, your cam timing could be out.
If it has only just started, whip your plugs out and inspect. If you dont know what your looking for post a pic up here. This will tell you if each cylinder is firing correctly
*Edit just noted someone suggested this....... Rather than cleaning them, look for fuel on them (you should smell it) this will indicate if you have ignition/coil problems
