Can you please help me understand what is going on with my V6?
The power delivery appears to be completely "peeky".
From standing hard acceleration can be either slow or normal but generally steady i.e. revs generally gather pace as you would expect.
If I am driving the car in 3rd for example with about 3000 revs on the clock and then put my foot down (right down) the car does not respond instantly it starts to accelerate slowly then sort of grumble (best description I can give, this is not a noise) then blasts off as normal.
I cannot seem to find any reason, using normal rather than super unleaded seems to make it worse (but this may be all in the mind).
Is this likely just to be the "MAF" sensor that everyone talks about. I have clean with de-greaser (spray) but this does not make any difference.
One other thing is that very very very infrequently I get the traction control light flash when accerating in a high grear and there is no way the car would be losing grip. This has only happened 3 times in 18 months of driving (15000 miles a year)
Any ideas about either question?
