no not gareth gates :p

 

yesterday i noticed a stuttering after flooring it, so checked the apexi filter to make sure it wasn't getting damp, had it idling and it was purring like a good 'un, driving normal no problems, been out on the motorway tonight and first off it was great, then as i was doing over a ton, i took me foot off the gas, and it started stuttering and jumping, floored it again and it seemed ok (ish) went to where i was going left the car for 1/2 hour and driving back it was deffo better, but still that stuttering when taking the foot off

 

so would be grateful for some pointers where to look first

it actually felt like fuel starvation the way it stuttered, (plenty in/optimax)

would a plug/s breaking down cause it, just seemed funny it was when easing off the gas

 

btw its a tt import, dump valves, delimited, not sure any of that helps but....

thanks in advance;)

 

just to add as i pulled of the motorway and stopped at the lights it was lumpy as hell, and stalled, but then started ok, i reckon i will go to it tomorrow and it will be ok, until i get it "warmed" up on the motorway

so not sure if thats relevant?

Sits on the left hand (as you look at the engine from the front) cam cover. Usually a silver box about 3 inches square with cooling fins on the top. It controls the spark to the coil packs.

it looks like it may be water in the apexi filter

cleaned it friday and it deffo had some water in there again

so cleaned it dried it, so used it yesterday and ran like a dream

just been to manchester, m58/m6/m60 and slaughtered it there and back

and it never skipped a beat:)

 

so looks like it has to be coming in the front bumper mesh, spray etc, so need to make a better guard, if the worst comes to the worst i will put the old airboxes back on (if they fit with new bumper)

 

deffo not rain getting in, as last few days have been monsoon weather
