| Kangarooing at idle in first gear on slip road. |
|
I'm sure there is nothing seriously wrong but would appreciate someone in the know helping to diagnose what might be the culprit. My motor is a 56 plate S Manual model with 17k miles.
I commute between Glocester and Bristol and normally when I come off M5 at Jcn12 there is a queue of traffic. Previously I have simply selected 1st and let the clutch out and let it idle along and it would pull nicely up teh off ramp. Now - On the flat it is fine but when it gets to the gentle slope, it starts a gentle Kangaroo motion. My theory is that this might be something to do with the anti-stall and is probably a sensor or vacuum that is not performing correctly.
Any ideas?? - Over to you experts.

Definition of an 'expert'
:- Ex = Has been
:- Spurt = drip travelling fast 
Sorry, but no idea on the kangaroo sensation other than possibly due to the higher temperatures affecting the engine running. Does it run normally otherwise? if so I would not be overly concerned in my non expert opinion. Club 18 - 30 (I wish !!)
