    Default delay in response

    hey guys.

    The last couple of days i have noticed that when i accelerate from the lights or leaving a petrol station etc the car delays for about 2 to 3 seconds then it kicks in and all is good. Im not flooring it im just normally taking off but as said, it doesnt kick in till about 3 seconds.

    Also sometimes i feel a shudder in the car when im idle at red lights.

    One idea i thought of would be that i havent cleaned the injectors for about 25000km, and i changed the oil about 6000km's ago.

    Any ideas in why the car would be doing this? Just curious

    Thanks, Shane

    also just before when i was driving home, it suddenly loses power, then gets it back, then loses it and gets it back, happens everytime i accelerate from turning in a round about. My old man said it mite be a fuel problem?

    May also be low transmission fluid - check when hot. This can cause delayed start/shudder.
