Car Has Been Proper Juddering Like!!

[mcyates]

On Saturday Morning I started the car and it was as if my problem, that I had earlier on this year with a dead injector had come back!! I started the car, and the engine was rocking all over, I then drove the car about for 10 min but was still juddering and hardly any power! I could also smell burning and a strong smell of Petrol, got the car back to the house and steam (i think it was steam) was coming from under the bonnet but I could smell smoke so i'm not 100% sure what it was. Anyway that soon stopped, I then started her up when to Morissons went in, bought s**t, then come out and the engine started fine, no juddering at all!!

It done it yesterday also, when first started, drove to the pertol station (2 min away "yeah I know I could have walked lol) and juddered all the way, filled up, drove off and everything was fine!!

What could possibly be wrong!!

Thanks in advance.

Mine was doing the same, without the smoke/steam. Turned out to be the lambda sensor pre cat

^^ yeah but his suddenly drives fine again sometimes ? When the first lambda goes, it will go into a " safe" mode and still drive but really down on power.

Did you do all the injectors last time OP ?

The garage only changed the defective injector!
