Hey all,
Took my grandad's v6 statesman for a drive, and noticed it misses under load/heavy acceleration. It feels like the engine moves around violently as if its the trans but due to the backfiring i dont think its the transmission, just thats the way it feels.
Few examples would be;
Cruising on the high way in 4th, accelerate a tiny bit and it would start "missing" sometimes backfire (not loud due to stock exhaust). This is when it feels like the transmission but I doubt it due to the second example and the backfires heard.
or you plant it, it wont rev up freely and kind of struggle around the 3000rpm + mark. It will still rev out, just kinda stutter along the way.
Unsure what to do in terms of trouble shooting, any idea's fellas?
Can cruise around fine on light throttle unless its in 4th low down. Click it back to third with light throttle and generally its fine, but as stated it happens if u give it the boot too. Can make taking off in a hurry a bit scary!
