'missing'at around 3k revs
 
Hi all, I have a 2002 st170 (Bluefin, K&N, Peco cat back). I have a problem with the way the car drives - at around 3k revs the car starts to 'shudder' while accelerating.....it gradually increases speed but doesn't ever 'clear' itself. This is only a recent thing. I have checked the plug gaps (1.30mm) and it has been put on a diagnostic and no faults came up....help me please.......

Coilpack?

That's what I thought originally but wouldn't it show up on the diagnostic?? the Idle Control Valve was blocked but has been cleaned out too.....

Hope it sorts it mate, I have diagnostics which i would have gladly checked yours with but your a bit too far away..

coilpack arrived yesterday which 'almost' cured it....it was better but not quite right....took a test drive up to Halfrauds and treated myself to a set of leads and plugs (about 43 quid the lot)...fitted them yesterday afternoon and I'm a happy bunny again...all sorted.....
Thanks for your help Steve/Sam.
