My "new" Range Rover surges and bucks at light throttle and low load, like when I'm trundling through traffic or a parking lot. Vehicle is a 3.5L injected petrol engine with a 5-speed manual.
It feels like a fuel surge to me. Injection issue, maybe? Plugs and wires are pretty new. At medium throttle or higher load it runs beautifully, and if it starts bucking and I give it a boot of throttle it gathers itself up and pulls very strongly, but in second gear at 10mph, very light throttle, it's very difficult to drive. I end up slipping the clutch a lot at low speeds.
Any thoughts on what to check first?
