Hesitancy when hot...
Discussion
During my drive down from Brum last night, I noticed some hesitancy in the motor when accelerating hard. If I backed off and took it more gently, it smoothed out, but flooring it again brought the problem back.
It had had a hot time through the middle of Brum to start with, so I don't doubt that engine temperatures were tested somewhat, but the cooling, etc is all working fine.
When cold this morning, everything was back as it should be!
Any thoughts as to what might be causing this?
Thanks

Mine was missing under full throttle. One of the coil packs was cracked. That was the fundamental problem. I just added leads and plugs for good measure.
Aha! I'll be on to the coil packs then.I had a worrying moment that a sticking valve or oil flow problem might also have similar symptoms...

Well, how about that then. Fearing all sorts of problems, Austec traced the 'problem' to an HT lead coming loose. Popped it back on, hey presto and no charge 
I really should lift the bonnet now and again
I seem to recall you doing plenty of that when we went over to the 'Ring the other year. Did you learn nothing!?!?

My car has been running like a dream...until tonight. Getting the same symptoms
Not every acceleration, maybe 5 times over a 30 minute journey.
