This a mild problem we've had for a month or two, but it might be getting more serious.
1993 1.3 LX auto (NCVT). Only 42k miles! Normally runs perfectly.
But every 10 to 20 miles it loses all power for half a second then picks up again with no problem. Of course you notice it more when accelerating, but it also happens at a steady speed. Today for the first time it did it twice in quick succession, the second time losing power for more than one second.
How can anyone start tracking down such an intermittent fault? Is it more likely to be on the fuel side or the ignition or somewhere in between? Any pointers gratefully received -- not only by me but by the local workshop I take it to for some of the servicing.
Many thanks,
Peter
