my ep3 has been suffering from a steadily worsening problem when gently accelerating at low rpm, particularly noticeable in lower gears and slow speed. It's become very bad when cold, but I think there is still some signs of it when warm too. As accelerating from low rpm, it hits a flat spot, bogs down, or hesitates, like it's being starved of air/fuel/ignition. Sometimes it's so bad I end up kangerooing down the street. Once it's above 2000rpm it settles down and runs normally. I've done a little research and seen a few suggestions/ideas:
Delete idle assist
clean out idle control valve & throttle body
throttle position sensor
MAF sensor
O2 sensors
Any more ideas? In what order should I try things (cheapest first). First thing I will try, when I can face the numb fingers, is cleaning throttle body and ICV and I also have a kit to delete the idle assist thing.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
