1999 Mazda 323 "flat spot"
Engine Performance problem
1999 Mazda 323 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 51000 miles
My 1300cc 323f mazda revs freely when it's not under load , but under load it has a terrible flat spot which can sometimes be improved (temporarily) by removing my foot fom the gas pedal and then re-applying.
Sometimes the car will not accelerate for 2-3 seconds and sits at a static speed (usually 30 - 40 mph)
it is not so bad in first gear but gets worse in 2nd and 3rd.
Although i suspect fuel starvation i wonder if you colud give me any pointers.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes ,Colin
