Hick-up
Has anyone's SVX had a hickup while driving? While driving along at 45 to 65 mph the engin just stops for a half second (maybe less) then picks back up running strong. This happened once on the dragon Saturday, then three times yesterday on the way home. I first thought it was just shifting or something, but yesterday I was just running along smooth and straight when it did it.
Could be a coil, but when one of my coils died last year you could tell it was missing, so I replaced it. This new problem is intermittent, any ideas?

Re: Hick-up
I'm thinking MAF sensor starting to fail.
If it is, most likely it can be repaired by re-soldering the connections inside. There's a how-to on here somewhere. Last edited by Blacky; 07-02-2014 at 04:10 AM. |

Re: Hick-up
it was the lead - the front spart plugs (here in NZ) are made up of 2 separate leads (joined end to end) - one had a split cover that was shorting to block.
