Hi.
Been having some issues with the acceleration on my VT.
First thing I noticed was about November last year when the car seemed to have some flat spots at certain revs when accelerating... I'd put my foot down as usual but it would really struggle to keep accelerating and I basically had to floor it.
Then I took the car on a trip for Christmas, the whole time when traveliing at 100kms-110kms it was like the car had a cough......almost like it would drop out ....this happened the whole time there.
Now it's at it's worst..it runs like **** and won't ever accelerate smoothly anymore.
I don't want to take it into my mechanic cos he knows I'm a clueless Chick and I don't trust him to get to the problem properly and I reckon he will over charge me..so I kinda want to diagnose the problem a little and then get my brother in law to check it out for me.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to start with the cheapest thing first approach, lol.
