Default Holding Back...Kangaroo :(

Morning

Just wondering if anyone could help me this morning. Im having a small problem with my P1. Sometimes when trying to hold the car at a steady speed or when accelerating at low revs the car seems to hold back (kangaroo) I was told this was more than likely a weak spark plug. Having changed the spark plugs last week the car drove perfect for around a day. But now Im having the same problems again.

Once on boost the car pulls and pulls as it should do...

Does anyone have any ideas? Could it be the leads??

Help lol

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your message the car is doing between 220 -250 from a full tank of fuel. Mileage on the car is 110,000 but rebuild was complete 30,000 ago by API.

Thanks again for your help

For mixed driving, that's bang on healthy mpg for a 50 litre JDM tank i.e. c. <=5 miles per litre.

Yeah, I reckon either HT leads and/or coilpack. Can get both from Import Car Parts. I'd replace the cheaper HT leads first - if still playing up then get the coilpack too. Then go from there...
