FTO AUSTRALIA

Just recently I have noticed that when my car is cold, it has a hesitation between about 1.3-1.6k revs.(actually I have no idea when it is...but definitely low in the rev range)

It's really hard to describe, but at a linear throttle input, there is momentarily no response before it just suddenly all comes back with a bit of a sudden gush. It is noticeable in the exhaust note, and would appear to the outside as though I have just made had a really sharp jab at the throttle, which I haven't.

Any suggestions on what might be causing this?

It was serviced quite recently so should have fresh fluids etc.

Mine does it when im driving around in carparks. i have no idea!!

TPS.

Can you clean it or something?

Adjust it. Do a search.

umm whats TPS ? ...

Throttle position sensor.

The hesitation could be any number of things. Anything ftom leads/plugs to fuel filter. When was your last service and what was done?

Thought I would update this and let people know that the issue appears to have been the fuel filter. I tried everything to replicate the problem this morning but not a sign of it anymore. The car feels so much smoother I wonder how I ever got used to it.

Other symptoms were when I was in gear with my foot off the throttle slowly (and I mean rather slowly) going down a slope, the car would not always continue smoothly and would sometimes hold up almost as though I was applying the brakes or the A/C had kicked in.

Doing the same thing today on the way home from work it accelerates and decelerates smoothly exactly as you would expect.
