my car has a big stutter and sometimes misses a beat- it feels like i am running a bit down on power!

 

i can be cruising along in 5th in urban areas doing 30ish and it will jolt a lot...

 

any ideas appreciated, gsf sending some new ht leads and oil/filter but if anyone can recommend anything else i would be interested....

 

 

cheers guys :?

Check connection on the airflow meter.

Check operation of the throttle position sensor (easiest done using VAGCOM, but I guess you can probably also check it with a multimeter). Definitely worth checking for engine error codes while you're there. Also get the basic settings re-done to calibrate the throttle sensor.

Check your plugs are all sparking, sounds like one of them isn't to me.

If the battery has been disconnected, then you've lost the throttle calibration to the engine ECU. The ECU and throttle body need to be harmonised using the Basic Settings set-up procedure, then it will do 5th at 30mph smoothly!

does your car have a distributer? or a coil pack?

i dont know but it is a 1995 mk 3 golf...

 

 

ive got a sneaking suspicion it is something to do with the electrics as the same thing happened in my mk3 8v!

 

 

getting worse but sometimes happens when wet, sometimes not... occasionally when hot and occasioally cold and its a nightmare.

 

if im going along say on the motorway and take my foot off the gas it completely lurches rather than slowly slows if you get me

 

 

 

might take it to dealer tonight for vag com...
