Hi all. Hopefully someone can give me some ideas.
I drive about 95k to work and back daily almost 100kph zone freeway all the way and have an issue where the car drives fine but when i have to slow down to around 80k for roadworks or traffic when i accelerate from it the car couchs and splutters for holf a min until i get to about 90kph. It doesnt do it any other speed.

Any suggestions :/

Thanks stu

How many (total) kilometres has your car travelled ?
Suggest you check and clean the MAF Sensor, check the condition of the fuel filter (it may need replacing), check the condition of the coils and ascertain when or if the spark plugs have been changed.

Is this a 4 speed auto? They do this in top gear around 80ks because the revs are so low. Try it in power mode or tap the throttle a bit harder so it gears down and it should smooth out.
