My 1.7 Puma engine has been acting funny for quite a while. I think I may know what it might be but I wanted an opinion from you guys if you had any idea.
Basically I used notice it more a higher speeds but now i'm beginning to notice it at various speeds. I'll be on the motorway doing a steady 80 say for example. My foot will not move but all of a sudden my speed and revs will slowly drop 5/6mph and then without me doing anything surge right back up again to 80. As though i've taken my foot off the gas and then floored it back to 80 again lol. It's been happening for months, but i'm starting to notice it across right at all speeds.
I used to think I had a faulty lambda (which I haven't yet looked into further) and it was fuelling problem, but yesterday I thought maybe it could be an intermitent problem with the throttle position sensor?!
I'll put it under a diagnostics test as a last resort, but I thought i'd ask first and see if anyone had experienced it before.
Oh and i've already replaced the MAF before anyone suggests that
Any help greatly appreciated!
