When I start the engine , sometimes it is running perfect. But sometimes the engine seems to be ok until I put my foot on the accelerator and there is no power, particularly when I am pulling away at a junction. So now I test my car always by stopping on a by-road and pulling away, if missing , no power, I stop the car and switch off ignition. I then start the car and pull away , normally this works first time and car is normal power, sometimes I have to stop and start twice. Once car is running it is ok for ever until I stop and start car. And I have to go through same procedure. This happens whether car is hot or cold. Went to a small garage and he tested all and thinks it may be a Lambda sensor, front one. But he is not sure. Went to vauxhall he said it willl cost money, a lot to try and find the fault. Milliage is 53000.
