Hmmm, so, after a great day out visiting the Ford meet-up at Squires Café last weekend, my trusty Puma has rewarded me with developing a somewhat odd issue.
Accelerating in 1st or 2nd Gear there is a bit of juddering until things pick up as normal. Accelerating in 3rd Gear upwards isn't an issue, nor is accelerating in 2nd from 15-20mph - it just seems the initial take off in the lower gears brings it on.
My first thought, potentially, was Clutch, but there is no evidence of slippage when accelerating in higher Gears, which I would normally expect. Second thought, as it only really started to happen after a recent re-fuel at a BP Garage (my Puma NEVER has supermarket fuel), was dodgy petrol. Then, driving home tonight, I though I heard a small misfire/backfire, just as the juddering was disappearing.
Has anyone had similar? I'm wondering if it could be Spark Plugs related, but not sure what symptoms a failing Spark Plug would bring on.
Thanks in advance of any advice!
