Im back,been in the garage and all tests come back clear,no leaks,no hidden error codes,didnt miss a beat when in garage.
Bought a new air mass sensor and it still done it,lucky sent it back and got a refund,checked a spark plug and could do with a change,going in next week for a full service.
When i take the car out for a sunday blast it dosent miss a beat,mostly only does it when in town.
I remember when i first got my kawasaki ZX6R,after a week i was passing the shop and called in,was telling him it seems a bit lumpy and rough and he asked me how i was riding it,i told him just normal,he said no,its a sports engine,ride it like u stole it,i did and it was a completly differant machine and all made sense,the bike loved it.
I told the wife that and that if she was in 3rd gear,then 2nd gear will be better and dont be scared to keep it in 2nd,[be like girl racer]not rev the nuts of it but keep the revs up higher than normal,that was 2 days ago and the car hasent stalled,idled badly at all.will likely use a bit more petrol but so what.
So im thinking,16L Zetec S engine shouldnt be driven around like an old persons car and needs to be used and abused a bit.
Only time will tell i suppose.
