Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi All
Need some advice if poss - for the last month or so when driving at a steady speed 40/50/60 mph the car seems to lose power momentarily ( fraction of a second) - probably occurs 3 or 4 times every mile if at a steady speed. Doesn't appear to effect acceleration.
* Sluggish to Start when Cold - but always has been - this is getting a little worse but it is getting colder as well!
* When driving to work this morning it occasionally was Kangerooing in 1st & 2nd when pulling away - hasn't done this before.
* Gears are Ok to select
* And although it always has been a little flat acceleration in general seems fine.
Other forums suggest that this could be a clutch problem!?! I can understand that this could explain the Kangerooing but would the clutch also cause momentary loss of power - as above?
Any help would be much appreciated :)
