mattie Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 really weird problem...when i accelerate, its jumpy and sometimes lags - put it in gear, put the foot down and no response, almost as if its sticking. Then it kicks in with acceleration. Seem to get it more when going up hill.At first thought it was dirt in fuel but has been happening for weeks now. Can feel the whole car juddering as it accelerates, almost as if its missing a beat.Best I can describe it, btw recently had a gear replaced but gear changing is completely smooth...any ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ID modds Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Sounds like its misfiring or the throtle body needs cleanning if it's a petrol engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penry Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Lambda probe? Thats what was up with my arosa. Just cleaned the probe then gave it a bloody good ragging down the motorway, thats what solved mine in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOCK Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Whats the coil pack?It's the thing that converts your 12V battery to 20,000V-40,000V (not sure what it is on the Lupo) so that your petrol can spark. It's just like a step up transformer you may have learnt about at school.NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
