Stutter in 3rd?????

shane@mbtech · 28-08-2009, 08:26 PM

I noticed at oulton park that when engaging 3rd there is a momentary stutter/hesitation. I thought it was jus the traction as I was mostly in m track to begin with , but I have noticed it a few times on the road when I know traction is fine and dsc off. It is only from 2nd to 3rd. Anyone experienced this. It also only seems to happen on gradients. I'm wondering whether it's an inclination sensor perhaps. As it only happened at oulton on the same bend.

Sounds to me like fuel starvation ??????
Fast cornering on a low tank, likewise on uphill sections., quick acceleration in the lower gears combined with a perhaps faulty fuel pump.....................just a guess

I think I have experienced this. It is intermittent though.

I had that at the Ring a few days ago! I was going uphill after Pflantzgarten and the car stuttered something chronic! I looked down at the fuel guage and it read 2 miles left to run... Ooops! I coasted round the last few corners!

i get it at Donny on Coppice with anything less than 1/4 tank, nowhere else though!

I only run 1/4 tank max on track, too much weight!!! But come to think of it I was on my way to petrol station with v low fuel when it happened yesterday, I will have to monitor it and I'll keep you informed
