Kangaroo'ing over 2k rpm??

Fri Apr 17, 2009 9:27 am

This is a very strange one (which only seems to happen in the damp - like today). But 100% fine when warm & sunny.

Trying to accelarate (anything over 2k rpm) the car judders & kangaroo's - almost like I'm blipping the throttle. Making pulling away very interesting.

Also the autochoke is very indecisive turning off & on when off the throttle

I've done some visual checks: (not being techie it's difficult to know what to look at).

My suspicions is a fueling issue - have had fuel lines & filter replaced a couple a thousand miles ago though. (Sparks, HT's, air filter at the same time).

As it's an intermittant issues - obviously quite difficult to get it over to a garage for them to road test it on a dry day "no problem found".

soz, was typing at work very quickly at during break time.

I've found the fault - a split air intake hose between the AFM at the manifold
