This has only just started and is only for a few minutes. At about 4000 revs in 4th when I accelerate the car judders and shakes, when I change up the car still does this under acceleration, after a few minutes this stops and everything is fine. It has only happened twice, its on initial driving, I let the car warm up for a few minutes and don't drive it hard until it is warm. Car is UK MY97 with exhaust and VTA forge. Don't know if I should worry lots or whats up. Could it be plugs as I'm not sure what are fitted and what gap. Any help much appreciated as my mechanical and tech skills are much limited. Thanks

Could be worth cleaning the boost solenoid out, mine was jerking abit the other day so I did this & it worked.
Look on sidc.co.uk & go to the faqs & itll tell you how to do it in there, its dead easy.

I second Dizzy ...... Coilpacks where the problem with mine but worth changing plugs at the same time, Scoobysport changed 'em within 3/4 hour , no problems since
