M reg Fiesta a bit stuttery in 2 & 3rd gear

Sep 06, 2004 2 Replies

Just bought a M reg Fiesta Java 1.6. Seems fine but lately I've noticed that when I am accelerating fairly hard in 2 or 3rd gear, the car seems a bit hesitant like it's missing a beat. Seems OK the higher in the rev band I go. Just wondering if you had any ideas and what can be done to resolve the matter. It's not a major issue but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Have you done the obvious - new plugs, leads, air filter?

Si

Zetec Engine = plugs and leads. Use OE quality only. Gap plugs to 1.0-1.1mm NOT 1.3mm.

Clean the surface of the coil pack with white spirit / thinners / brake cleaner whilst you're at it.
