When I come into a roundabout on overrun I get a delay of about 1/2 second on the throttle when I start to accelerate. It feels like the engine dies then picks up again, it seems worse when the engines not up to temp.Has anyone else had this,how was it fixed ?
The cars in for service on monday so any info I can give them will be helpfull.Hopefully they'll fix the fast flashing indicators, condensation in the rear lights and a front suspension clonk under warranty.Thanks.

Has it been tuned? If so Id maybe look there.
What engine and throttle have you got?

Over run at about tickover or much higher?
Mine pops a lot as overrun decreases to around 1k rpm. I beleive this is because the ECU is fueling for tickover, but the engine doesn't need it so is chucked out unburnt.

I believe during overrun there is NO fueling. However when you dip the clutch the engine wants to fuel for idle....but then you press the pedal aswell...could it be ECU cutting fuel as it thinks its running rich?
Try changing to your next gear earlier and then accelerating straight after overrun rather than after gear change.

(might work!)
