    hi all

    at the moment my saxo vtr is having a acceleration problem that i carnt figure out
    when in first i press the accelerator right down to the bottom and it sort of splutters and spits and just doesnt move at all then wen it hits 1500 rpm it sort of just starts working again propely and then just keeps doin it in random intervals

    ive just had a new clutch fitted and gearbox so the clutch is not sliping.
    ive had all new spark plugs, new coil pack, new fuel filter and ive checked for air leaks and there isnt any

    ive gone through the list of things it could be and ive done the cheapest options first the nxt things are like fuelpump, throtel inlet but dont wana get them incase it isnt that

    also put a scanner through the ecu no electrical faults part from the lamda senser but ive got a 4 2 1 manifold so that just show up anyway i think???

    any advice would be great though and quick coz this needs 2 be sorted as its realy annoying me now lol

    thanks mike

    Is the problem always there or just randomly?

    Hmm wonder if thats the problem with my 1.1 now and then when i set of it would just judder asif there wasnt any power then would splutter then pick up again, also when idleing you would hear the occasional pop through the exhaust, i have had new plugs leads coil pack fitted etc, could the lambda be the problem?
