Rightio,
This one is going to be difficult to explain chaps (and lady's)
A week ago after filling up at a petrol station my 197 struggled starting, could hear the starter turning over but the engine didn't fire for a good 5-7 seconds, it did this a couple of times over two days and then hasn't done it since. Had a similar issue on a Megane 2, turned out it was a coil pack.
Anyway, no idea if this is related but onto today...
After driving for about five mins, I was sat at a junction, went to pull out and the car spluttered and what I think is a missfire, I gave it more revs (mainly due to the in coming car) and it just didn't rev at all, the rev counter climbed really slowly, sounded really rough like it was on three cylinders and there was loads of vibration. I dipped the clutch and the car struggled to idle, pulsing from about 400rpm to about 700rpm.
Further on I had the car in third gear @30mph, planted my foot and got nothing but vibration and car sounds really rough.
No engine warning lights and after about thirty seconds or so this problem seems to pass and the car is ok engine, although doesn't seem as eager to rev (this could be in my head).
I have a mate with a ODBII reader so Ill get that on it tomorrow just in case.
I will try to get a video of it up.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
