Hello everyone,
Yesterday I went for a fantastic drive through beautiful mountain roads with my GTV6. Something was happening that I do not recall was occurring before.
Driving up the twisty roads sometime I would find myself in second gear at about 20mph driving uphill. The car would slowly accelerate, but the engine would jerk repeatedly and quickly until 3000 RPM, after which it would shoot off as if it where a turbo engine. It did this all day long in any gear - in fact also from stand still in first gear.
Also, driving down the mountain, when I would let go of the accelerator (usually because there was a much slower car in front of me
) my GTV6 would "pop" from the exhaust constantly, multiple times a second, until I pressed the accelerator again. This too I do not recall it occurring in the past.
For some reason I'm thinking the engine might be running too rich, but I am not that knowledgable of these symptoms. So I am asking you much more experienced and knowledgable subscribers of this forum for your input.
What could it be and how can I fix it?
Thank you all for your suggestions and help.
Cheers,
Igor
