All the time - usually under load at low revs. Engine splutter like a
missfire or bad fuel, MCF message, then off we go again! Catman said several
times that its the throttle sensor at the pedal (its not a direct throttle
cable) and he tends to know what he is talking about, but the MCF message
makes me wonder if its something else - electrics, ECU, lambda sensor or
even spark plugs or something else...
