V6 engine problem

by Catman <catman@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Nov 23, 2007 at 08:37 PM

The V6 has developed something of a problem. It; a bit odd really:

If I do something like fluff a gear change, and let the engine revs drop 
too low, the engine management light comes on and the throttle respsonse 
goes rather odd.
If you take your foot off the throttle and then put it back on (as in a 
gear change) there is a very distinct lag (maybe a second plus) before 
anything happens. It makes no difference where in the rev range you are, 
or how fast you re-apply throttle. The power comes on without apparent 
loss, it;s just 'late'.  If you keep constant throttle you can hear the 
engine pick up after the delay.

Shutting off and starting again always clears it (takes maybe a minute 
for the light to go off) but the lag vanishes immediately.

Suggestions from the house?
