Vauxhall Zafira car hesitates while just pulling away
Variant: 1.8 petrol
Model Year: 1999
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I can start the car first time in the day the revs go around 1000rpm and i can just drive off with no problems. But leave car parked for couple of hours and then start it the revs go to 1500rpm then try to drive away the car feels like there is no power and when i put me foot down it starts hesitating and gradually picks up speed jerking along. This only happens for about 30 seconds then once the revs start coming down the car drives fine then. Any help would be great thanks...
