   Got a problem guys,when driving in 2nd or 3rd gear,car loses power then more pressure on accelerator makes car regain power,and also occasionally car has cut out,had injectors checked and they r ok,any ideas?

   Yea i was thinking coil pack but when mine went i'd be driving for ages in 1st gear foot to the floor before i needed to change gear lol like driving a 0.7 or lower.But could be just starting to play up im guessing,if it is coil pack not alot to sort i paid about £45 iirc for mine and 5min job to change.
