Subject: Re: 2.3 liter hesitates on acceleration


Could be an auto box thing but ..... I have a very similar engine in my manual 9000 CS 2.3-16, and had hesitation with overall loss of power for a whole 20 months!! Checked all sorts under the bonnet to no avail. Then ...... Front section of the exhaust blew at the flexible coupling and was replaced. PROBLEM CURED. Back to normal 2.3 grunt. I assume the exhaust had had a minor leak the whole time, and the lambda sensor wasn't seeing transitions. Acquired wisdom suggested a) vacuum leaks or b) ignition cassette but these proved OK. Cost of exhaust section was 117 GBP for immediate fitting, a bit less (90ish) from another garage if had been able to wait. This is probably a bit too high a price to consider on a diagnostic basis, but worth checking.
