Having just completed a DIY head gasket and timing belt change I took the car for a spin.
I found it lurched violently when I accelerated hard (foot to the floor) in 1st gear and also did the same in any gear when it hit
4000rpm. Some of the lurches resulted in a dead stall, which were easy to re-start after.Idle sounds fine and power is fine so I am hopeful I have got the cam belt on correctly. I`ve checked the air flow sensor pipe and seems fine - no cracks etc. Compression is OK on all cylinders too.
Can anyone help please?
