my hsv 96 clubsport seems to be having hesitation moments driving up to and around the 60km mark,clears out when i put my foot down, theres a complete flat spot if you put your foot to the floor from takeoff/standing position,feels like the cars being robbed of power somewhere along the line. any ideas as to what this could be would be appreciated.cheers.

yeah,it does have a miss... at times it feels like its only running on 7 cylinders,yet ive confirmed it isnt the plugs,leads,coils,etc... im checking out the injectors atm but will look into the fuel pump as well...hopefully its one out the two... thanks heaps :)
