Hi, I own Astra Estate 1.6 SXi, petrol, manual, 57 plate. My problem is occasional when accelerating a bit harder, the car experiences a brief hiccup (half a second) and then carries on fine. Do you know what that could be please?
thanks

Several things can cause this type of a problem. Have you checked to see if the fuel pump pressure is within the manufacturer's specs?

Thanks for your answer. I haven't checked the fuel pump pressure, I'll take it to the garage to have it measured.
If that's not it, could you advise anything else that could be wrong?

Thanks

Like I mentioned, it could be many things. When was the last tune up? Have you ever checked for engine vacuum leaks? Have you ever replaced the fuel filter? The vehicle has low mileage on it, so I wouldn't think there are any internal engine problems.
