Getz 1.4 G4EE 156000 km
My loyal Getz has been annoying me for a while. On acceleration it seem to hesitate. Not much - just seeming slow. This occurs only in 3rd. - 5th gear. The are no engine control lights on. Spark Plugs, air intake filter and petrol in-tank filter has been changed recently, but nothing helps. I´ve tried to reset the engine management by disconnecting the battery for an hour. It seemed to help a little - for ½ a day. Does anybody have an idea, what could be wrong?

Regards

Update
After a while of problems with loss of power and jerking on aceleration (which seems to be a wellknown issue), I had a closer look at the ignition coils. I decided to change them and found a used pair from a low-milage wrecked Getz. Suddenly the engine ran smoothly without any jerking. But now the check engine light came on. My mechanics cleared the codes which origined from a faulty upper lambda probe, but the light came on again after 10 minuts. Funny the lambda probe should go dodgy after the change of coils? I ordered a new lambda probe and changed it myself - a 5 minuts job. Engine light went off and fuel consumption reduced 30%. In the 3 years and 40K I've been driving this car, it has newer run as smooth and efficient as now. Maybe these informations can help others with similar problems.
