Splutter

**dalhousie2008** · Tuesday 1st May 2012, 11:00

I have an annoying splutter on pick up under hard acceleration. I thought at first may be because of having some old unleaded (95) in there from fuel strikes as it was all i could get at the time.

Only showed up now the new mbc is on as its allowing maximum boost.

Its perfectly drivable, its only under real hard boot.

Any ideas? I haven't changed plugs since i got it i guess that would be a good start.

Plug leads are a common splutter. And.....stick to premium unleaded.

I had the same on my auto. Leads were fine while you weren't giving it some, But as soon as you asked anything of them the car spluttered.

Dizzy cap on my V70 died at a drop of a hat..

I'll have a look at the weekend, i doubt its had the dizzy cap changed in a long time or plugs and leads.

How much are you after for the sensor james?
