Hi guys,
I tried looking for a post but I couldn't find one relating to my issue, if there is one my bad.
Basically, the car shunts badly if accelerator is pressed unless I very gently apply throttle however, once there's a little bit of throttle applied I can put my foot down and it acts normal (no juddering during accelerations) but also once I let go of gas at high revs the car is very odd. This makes it difficult when changing gears as you have to be really slow and soft when putting any throttle on lol.
I was wondering if it was engine mounts?
Cheers

Year? Engine? I assume you have a manual trans because you mention "changing gears."

Have you set timing / idle / TPS lately?

 

[Robert Winsor]

I should have mentioned that my bad,
1995, 2.5 manual
No I haven't messed with timing or idle however, my idle once the car is warm is quite low at around like 500-600 i think, might be a little bit higher but yeh.
Cheers

Set the timing, idle and TPS, then. For reference, my car had really touchy throttle tip-in, especially when cold, until I set the TPS correctly. It would also surge a bit on light throttle in certain regimes.

Check the fuel filter and fuel pressure, fuel pumps go out try rock auto for parts

Check the fuel pump and filter. Also check the air hoses around throttle mouth.
