Feels a bit like fuel surging but on a smaller scale....thinkin it might be spark plugs or a coil? does it sound familiar to anyone, do you know what it might be?

Fuel filter was cleaned out 10,000km ago would it need to be cleaned out or replaced again? it only started doing it last nite and would do it everytime I would put my foot down. Could it also possibly be a collapsing cat? coz danny rekons my cat is in the process of collapsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give it a bit of a boot and just as its starting to boost low in the rev range she farts a bit then takes off. Only did it when I was running petrol, seems ok on LPG though.
