Engine hesitation
Noticed recently that after coming to a stop and starting to take off there is a hesitation.
I have just done the 60,000 mile service. Replacing the spark plugs does not seem to have fixed the issue. I run 93 octane fuel all the time, so assuming clogged injectors is not the issue. Any thoughts? |

Ignition coils likely. Different car but similar case, I have a Cayenne Turbo S and I noticed the car suddenly felt like it had no balls accelerating. I thought it was a boost leak at first but turned out after replacing the spark plugs I did not push the coils all the way down on the plug. They were making good enough contact not to throw a miss-fire CEL but under the G forces while accelerating the would lift off the plug and not make good contact.
Give your coils a firm pushing or consider replacing if problem persists.

I had this exact issue. The more load you put on the engine, the more hesitation and even bucking. Finally threw an engine misfire code. Replaced the coil in the #2 cyl, car runs like new!
