I have a huge hesitation from a standing start and dont know where to start looking. The car is a jap auto but I know it's not the box.

 

I have cleaned the carbs but other than that I just dont know where to look or what I can start changing. I have lived with this since I got the car but now its really starting to get to me.

 

Pleas help...

 

Chris..

Hi mate?

anyluck with the heater valve yet???

 

Anyway Hesitation could be a number of things.

Dirty throttle bodies but you said you have cleaned them so thats not the prob. (they dont have carbs by the way :D)

Spark plugs

coil conections

injector/connections

fuel lines/filter/pump/regulator

air filter/maf senosr

water temp sensor/connector etc

 

Youl have some investigating to do.

I have the same prob and its really annoying especailly in a manual as it makes it horrible to pull off but i just havent bothered as im getting an engine rebulild and i have low compression which doesnt do wonders for hesitation either.

 

Best to have a plenum rebuild, take it off and clean replenish everything. Remmember these cars are almost the same age as me haha.

Some ideas :-

I think I need to come over and have a talk to you. Who's doing all the engine work for you?

And I know they aint got carbs but I could'nt spell "throttle bodies" and I knew you all know what I ment.

 

Oh yeah. Still havent found the valve and cable for the heater..........
