Default Jumpy idle & Hesitance on acceleration
Emma's V3 Type R has had a couple of issues in the last week. Seemed to have got worse in the last day or so

It is suffering from a jumpy idle & hesitance on acceleration.

Engine is standard apart from an Apexi induction kit & a D/V

It is due a big service, oil, plugs, coil etc


Any ideas????


Thanks

Chunk try doing the service 1st & see if that helps. If the problem still persists im sure it can be sorted easy.

Not good mate, but on the plus side it give you the chance to put stronger gaskets in to stop it happening again

I still say it's plugs or coilpacks, or even a boost/air leak
