   Hi their i am a newb when it comes to cars. My Saxo Furio keeps juddering in most gears it can happen when pulling off, or sometimes just accelerating up a hill or a straight for that matter. Feels like the accelerator has lost ful power for a split second then is back again and repeats stop go stop go. Then is back to normal. Car doesnt feel as perky as it should be. I dont really know if juddering is the right word or Flat spot i heard some 1 use. If any one can work out what im talking about please leave some tips be much appreciated. Its a Saxo Furio 1.4i, I could be driving for 20 minutes and not get it once then suddenly get it twice in 2 minutes. Iv tried flooring it when its juddering and it makes no odds.
   
   P.S) It also has a different exhaust then standard (big juicy loud one) Dunno what differences that make.
   
   Thankyou
