stumble when accelerating hard at low gears
Posted: Sat May 08, 2010 11:46 pm
hello.
got my new car now, i drove it 880 miles over the mountains, and it was so awesome.
but when im accelerating the engine stumbles a bit when i floor it in a low gear and want to activate the turbo. this stumbling is never the same, and sometimes its not stumbling at all.
when it starts to stumble, i can release the gas pedal a bit and the stumble stops, and then i can give more gas, and its not sure if it will stumble again. thats boring
so what can this be? vacuum leak? plugs? clogged air intake? i have no idea
i think the turbo is working, it was extremely nice to drive on highways and i could go up to 110 miles speed pretty fast, and im sure it had more to give, but couldnt go faster cuz of the road. im very satisfied with the car. pics will come. i have a turbo bar-gauge too, if info from that can help.
so it stumbles sometimes when i floor it. any inputs?
