Chazzyaych Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 My misses has a vw fox 1.2 2009/58 today while driving I notice the car was pulling back as she was accelerating. And while idling the engine is jumping. I'm not too good with cars and was just wondering if anyone knew of this.also while driving the car seems to be loosing power.

Toby_Fox Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Although I have a 1.4 4 cylinder Model, Mine was and still can be very lumpy at idle. I changed the spark plugs as the ones that had been put in weren't gapped properly and then I changed the coilpack. The leads seem to be okay. I also changed the lambda sensor as my engine light was on and this is what the code reader said. These together reduced the amount of lumpiness a lot but it still appears from time to time which I would eventually like to sort. I've never had the problem of losing power just having to give it a few revs to settle it back to normal idle if it's jumping. Hope that helps. it's best to get a code reader to check exactly if there is anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isetta Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 a code reader can cost less than what a garage will charge you to read the codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
