evo whilst this was happening did it feel like a shuddering/vibration through the whole car and at around 50 mph? the shuddering thing could be a warped or cracked rear wheel, had a similar thing on mine about year ago with the big fat 20 inch rear wheels that are prone to cracking especially with ...

evo whilst this was happening did it feel like a shuddering/vibration through the whole car and at around 50 mph? nope, the revs were stuck at around 2000 for a few seconds and then power would kick in all of a sudden, felt almost like turbo not spooling up straight away, car would just crawl along...

update, after fitting a new EGR still got the hesitation issue, weird thing is that with the vacuum tube disconnected from the EGR the hesitation disappears and car runs fine, the throttle body flap/butterfly seems fine, totally flummoxed and it's starting to piss me off now, think I may the set lig...
