jimmymac101 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I seem to have developed a flat spot in 3rd gear and in 4th sometimes but its only when i put my foot down, im stumped to what could be causing it! I have a standard air box, well completely standard engine at 113k just had cat back system fitted though hopefully someone can shed some light on what could be causing this.

Amjad Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hmm check your plugs and leads? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Plugs and leads are ok I had a slightly sticky throttle cable but sorting it made no difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 how would i check these things? Its very annoying I go to over take and its like a massive pause in the engine and then suddenly catches up. if I put my foot down at 2k will go to 3-4k and then drop down and then will catch up to the revs it should be at.
