    Default VY Ecotec Flatspot 3.8, Help needed!

    Hey guys this problem has just recently arrived in my car, i havent had the chance to attempt anything yet just wondering youre imputs and
    thoughts if anyones had this problem before.

    When i take off sometimes it shutters only on low revs around 1900 - 2500rpm then when driving along between 1900-2500 rpm it will jerk and shutter around abit as if its flat then takes off normal, if i cruise and dont put my foot down it seems to drive fine, it only does it sometimes so i have no idea what it could be my ideas are,

    Faulty spark plugs / leads? faulty MAF sensor or clogged up injectors?

    if anyones had this problem before and found the answer any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    clean your MAF, install new spark plugs and leads and maybe run some injector cleaner through it and i reckon you should fix it with those

    Mine was carrying on like this, ended up being a really old fuel filter. Changed it over and ran some injector cleaner through and was good as new.

    Thanks for the advice guys, im starting with the plugs and cleaning the maf, see how it goes may even try changing the fuel filter, it seems to be chewing alot of
    Fuel considering its only a 6.

    If you are using alot of fuel also have a look at you oxygen sensors
