Title: Judder on acceleration
Post by: Leeboygti on March 23, 2015, 12:19:01 am

Hi guys. Went 15 minutes up the road tonight to drop a friend home and on acceleration the car began to really judder and throw the eml light up flashing then it would go the minute i took my foot off the throttle. The last time i had the car scanned it said something about the evap system but really cannot remember the precise code or fault it brought up. Could it be the evap purge valve? I'm reading alot about it being a coil pack but i'm unsure as the evap fault has already came up before. Any help would be great. Thanks

Also worth noting that your evap code was most likely P0441.

Usually due to brimming the tank with petrol and some of it gets into the PAC tank up front.

Only way to eliminate is to replace the tank entirely or hope it dries up and after clearing the code a few times goes away.

Nothing major to worry about anyway. Unless you're worried about the environment  :evilgrin:
