SVX eg33 st,st,stuttering

Post by chapperss »

SVX eg33 st,st,stuttering. At certain revs ( about 2500 at a guess) under light load the engine stutters causing the whole van to kangaroo. this stops if i easy off on the throttle or i can accelerate though it. my exhausts are a bit short so i do get a little popping on overun and very light load (I can here it lighly judder and pop at 70mph) but lovely and smooth power up to scary speeds. It also has a sudden power band when accelerating from lower speeds ie below 60mph, so i can put my foot down and it'll accelerate nicely then at about 3000/3500 rpm(i,m guessing again) it goes mental! a very sudden increase in power!! not a nice smooth increase as the revs go up.
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Steve

It's very hard to guess but similar symptoms with my eg25 turned out to be the air flow meter. You could try cleaning it or if you have a spare swap them over.
