Default Help, hesitating?

i guess you could call it hesitating anyway?

Basically, my saff has just started, erm, like dying momentarily while crusing/driving under 2k rpm, its only for a split second, but its enough to make the car lurch abit, just a total loss of power, at the exact same time, the rev counter drops too, any idea?

Its 4x4 on l8 ecu, running closed loop and coil pack, could the TPS cause this, as i know the wires going to it are iffy (job for this week!)

Thanks!

TPS can certainly cause the hesitation, also have a look at the cps connector, do the wiggle test.

i will try the TPS then, needs a new multi plug on it, if that doesn't work i'll try the CPS, although that is new.
Would the TPS make the rev counter drop though? its like an electrical drop, not the engine rev's dying?

Thanks!

I am more inclined to think CPS connector as you say the ignition drops, TPS would not cause this but CPS would, the car won't run without this at all.
