Could be you moved some deposits in the fuel system, more inj cleaner might fix it.
Slight Surge
Hey all, I have a 98SE AT 4x4.
When I'm driving a bit hard, meaning that when climbing a slight hill not too fast (2nd) or when I'm on 2nd gear and the rpm starts to go higher (right to where it would shift to 3 if I was on D), I can feel a slight surge. I don't know how to explain it, it's like I can feel a slight variation in power...
Truck has 135K, New Sparks. Dealer said it was a dirty airflow, so they cleaned it with a spray can... Still same problem.
Thought I'd post here before taking it back.
PS: I remember I put in half a bottle of Redex Injector Cleaner shortly before that started to happen. Don't know if it is the culprit cos the truck drives normaly when I step on the gas fast...
Thanks all.

Thanks for your reply. On a side note, which cleaner would you recommend? I think here we have STP products... Which brands have you found to be most suitable for 98 Pathy?
Any more thoughts guys besides what IanH suggested?

There are Two, One is better more concentrated, I used that one, i will look see if i can get more detail
I think its Ok, but people on the forum in the B14 section say not to use injector cleaners as they are not good for injectors, but i dont know if this is true.
Good luck....
