[Dr A. 33 1.5IE]

Dear Alfistas,

I am not sure if what I am experiencing is the so called 'flat spots'. Under acceleration and at around 3000 and 3500 rpm the car although it does not cut, it goes into short rev bands where it feels and sounds as if it does not pull properly. Above 4k rpm such phenomena dissappear.

What can it be and are there any ways to look into it?

I am awaiting your enlightment.

Thanks in advance.

i used to have a 1.5IE. when mine stareted doing a similar thing i removed the inlet manifold and cleaned it out thoroughly with carb cleaner. Had to reset idle speed after but was much smoother...
