I've experienced this with a couple of vehicles. As far as I could ascertain, it was a function of the fuel delivery system to deliver excess fuel if the catalytic converter temperature fell below a threshhold. The unburnt fuel reacted in the cat and raised the temperature - a byproduct was a small surge in acceleration, rather like the one you feel when the injectors kick back in on the overrun to generate idle speed but much more prolonged and at any throttle opening. mike ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
