Trying to narrow down a problem on a newly acquired mondeo, was bought dirt cheap, so dont mind spending some pennies to get it repaired.
V reg 2.00 Mondeo petrol, with a zetec engine.
The engine is super smooth in acceleration, from light to full pedal, however, when maintaining a speed, especially a lowish speed it jerks/ chugs quite strongly, when the car has been running for an hour or so the jerk is much less pronounced, but still there.
The contrast between the nice smooth acceleration and then the jerk while a steady speed is quite annoying.
I replaced the spark plugs, it seemed slightly better, this may have been pyschological though.... Also, the vehicle has a very very loose gear stick, would that indicate the need for a new gear box?
