power and pressure help

Post by nath2905 »

every now and then when i pull off or go over speed hump or summit that changes speed, i press the accelerator and theres a delay before it does anything, any idea's? its live able with just pain in the arse some times,

also, earlier i thought i would have a little look at my, plugs oil water etc see if there was any noticable problems, when i opened the water it was pressurised, and the car hadnt run for a good few hours, this normal?

thanks for any help :)
