Acceleration Hesitation and Unburnt Fuel Smell

[DanSheasby]

Right two things I need some help with,

Firstly I was out driving last night, coming to a stop at some traffic lights when they started to change (was still rolling slightly in 1st ) so I put my foot down and the car did nothing, just stayed at 1k rpm, then after a second or so it kinda kicked back in, then all was fine for a few hours then happened again as I turned a corner on the way home and went to accelerate away (in 2nd) it just stuck for a second then rev'd. Anyone got any ideas? I did a search and could only find threads about hesitation through the rev range.... If it makes any difference I changed my dv spring for a yellow one on Thursday


And also recently my girlfriend has been complaining about the smell of Unburnt fuel inside the cabin, although I can't smell it that much I might just be used to it, don't know if this is related or not..

Any ideas on what could be causing these would be brilliant!

Cheers
Dan

is there any misfiring? sounds like your coilpacks may need replacing and/or new plugs

 

[DanSheasby]

I don't think it's misfiring, but I will change the plugs etc anyway... Probably due..

try scanning for codes before, just to be sure.

 

[DanSheasby]

Yeah I shall do thanks would that possibly explain the fuel smell aswell? Not igniting properly?

If it's hesitating and smelling of fuel I don't believe the coils are to blame. My first call would be to check all PCV pipework for splits or holes. Check double check and check again. Any split will cause running issues as well as the smell you describing inside the cabin.

 

[DanSheasby]

Right okay... What's the PCV pipework? Probably a stupid question but I'd rather be sure quite an intermittent thing though :/

It comes out your rocker cover goes into the TIP and also under the inlet manifold

Think I found the issue... One of the pipes from my catch can had come off... Gonna hose clip it on now and see what it's like

Ohh didnt realise you had a catchcan setup. Well good luck
Hopefully your all sorted

 

[DanSheasby]

Yeah I hope so haha, I realised what the pcv was and went to have a look and was like ahh... Maybe that's the problem, catch can is mounted to the battery cover... Must have popped off when I removed it to dis battery... Thanks for the help
