Engine light comes on sporadically no quick pick up

[Spera]

Hello everyone.Thank you for help given so far.

Sometimes when I put my foot down to overtake the car drives smoothly but without the usual kick down in power and will just slowly increase in acceleration , it will then drive fine but will only respond to the accelerator pedal slowly.Occasionally the engine light will come on during this problem.I can drive the car no probs and the auto gear changes are smooth but the acceleration is gradual will reach 70 etc eventually but you would not try to overtake or pull out quickly ...Had it on a star via the AA but the engine light had gone off by the time I got to plug it in and it showed car to have no fault codes.If I turn the engine off then on the problem goes away and acceleration is smooth and fast.

I have read the forums and gather for most people it is a throttle sensor or a tear in the turbo pipe . Any one any ideas , can sensor be easily located or the turbo pipe inlet?

I think you need to find someone who is more proficient with using STAR.

I am pretty sure that STAR can read stored fault codes even after the cause has been removed and the light goes out (it does on my car).

look for a good Indy, or wait to see if anyone here has some recommendation for a decent one in your area..
