Holding back at 3000rpm?

[9Freedman9]

Right, well When I accelerate upto 3000rmp in first gear, it sort of judders as if it's missing then kicks back in a second later and pulls again, I can't really explain it as I am not sure what it is. It doesn't do it in any other gear, it's not a major worry to me atm but i'd like to sort it out.

I think maybe the fuel injectors may need a clean, but surely it would do it in every gear?

i had the same problem but it was at 5000rpm and happend in every gear. it ended up been my coil pack but it could be a few things. its just process of elimination.

probably the coilpack

clogged air filter, mine was doin roughly the same and i put a new bmc on today and its stopped

[9Freedman9]

Mine is a BMC, should I just take the think apart? I was driving round with no air filter a few weeks ago but surely it wouldn't have affected it this late?

Was it doing it when you had no air filter?

[Sparco_Tom]

hmmmmm i wonder what your engine has sucked in

My brother had same problem on his fiesta. It was the MAF (mass air flow sensor). Drivin without the air filter would have left this exposed and it could have been damaged

[Sparco_Tom]

could of clogged it up with dirt and shit

[Lp12790]

might be worth tryin a scrappy for one if you need one. citroen would charge fortune. £100+

No MAFs on any saxos...

And i know someone with a vts who had no air filter for years, no problems with that ;)

[9Freedman9]

I didn't drive very far with the air filter off, and this was over a month ago anyway, i've just had my exhaust re fitted and it's started doing it, I know it could be a million and one things, just something I want to sort out.

How much is a new coil pack?

i had simlier sort of problem on my v reg vts basicly i had a bmc on it with it piped in it would rev or pull very well took it off ..........perfect waht had happend was the cold air feed pipe had sucked its way down to the cone on the bmc so the car wasent getting any air try taking ur air filter off and c if it resovles ur problem if soo look for a blockage

check the crank sensor is in tight, mines was loose an it cut the power sometimes.

i'd say coil pack too, thats how mine started will do it in all gears once it's gone, feels more like a clutch slip at higher speeds though
