Hi and Help! I have a 2002 1.6 petrol zetec. About 3 weeks ago it started hesitating and stuttering when cold and under load, often when coming out at junctions and roundabouts. It usually happens at low(ish) speeds but doesn't seem too bad when setting off from stationary. It feels like a fuel problem but I haven't a clue about cars. It's passed the diagnostics test (twice!) but idles OK anyway, so that's no surprise. I don't know if it's a coincidence but it started 2 days after filling up at Sainsburys. Would dodgy petrol cause this problem or would it occur at all temperatures? Could it be the fuel pump? I appreciate anyone's help!
