My Classic used to do the same. Switching to 99RON cured it for me. If that doesn't work, get a diagnostic check done. If you have the patience to look back 3 or 4 years on here, you'll find plenty of posts. The common conclusion was that it was a characteristicof the car. Don't let people panic you into replacing MAFs coilpacks etc unecessarily. Bob
