Greetings,
Got a bit of a problem with my new S3. The engine sounds lovely, and it's really nippy compared to the 2.5NA in my 90, but it has a problem sometimes, especially when flooring it going up hill. The steeper the hill, the worse it seems, although very occasionally it does it on the flat, but it's always when you floor it. It seems to just hit flat spots, which ends up being quite a lurchy ride, it tries, but just keeps on lurching and lurching. It's not always so bad, but there are a couple of hills near me where you're almost guaranteed to get the problem. I had the same problem on another car, and that was one of the coil packs, but so far I've tried new NGK sparks, Lucas HT leads, a new coil pack, a whole new distributor (so distributor cap, points, vacuum advance, and condenser implied), and it seems to have not made a difference.
Any ideas on where to look next?
Cheers!
