    Hi

    Ive got a 05 Equip that has the 175 Alloytec motor.

    I regularly service the car and these-days do very little driving in this car.
    Recently, when driving and wanting to accelerate the car accelerates in a pulsating fashion. No unsual noises or any other signs of abnormalities.

    It doesnt seem to happen as often in first gear, but it does happen in higher gears when I try to accelerate, especially when I put the pedal to the floor. The revs struggle to hold and acceleration occurs in a pulsating fashion. The car does not shake\vibrate in idle or at speed.

    Thanks for any insight you can provide!

    I guess we're gonna have to sort this out ourselves.
    I dont drive that car very often and have very little time at the moment to resolve it.

    Let me know if you work out a solution

    Cheers!!
