for 2 weeks now ,if i am traveling at between 30/40 mph it tends to snatch/judder/pluck.but once i'm over 40mph ..no probs.its had a new clutch/cam kit and all the valves done in july iv'e had a younger engine put in hence all the new parts...other than the problem iv'e stated ,it runs like a new one .

It could be the coil pack or possibly the timing out due to the new belt jumping a tooth or not correctly set up perhaps or other cause letting it slip.

its me again still with the same problem..since my last question its been to 4 garages/had 3 diagnostic checks iv'e just paid out another £100 to have another diagnostic check/fuel filter change/and a very expensive fuel cleaner added .they all say that everything is ok ,and that they feel they have done all they can ,if it continues i should take it to VAUXHALL but that could cost me more that the car is worth,so i will afto put up with it or get rid, i am throwing good money after bad ...are there no mechanics out there that won't charge an arm and a leg to sort this problem out for me ,,please...please...i'm at my whits end .
