Renault Clio 1997 1.4 8v single point injection. 30,000 miles. hey guys when the car is pulling away or accelerating from low revs it judders as about to stall. even with the throttle fully depressed i initially thought it was the ignition system and since new ht leads rotor arm cap and plugs i figured coil. after i changed this it did appear better for bout a week. now its doing it again and im thinking fuel. i have had two occasions when the car struggled to start. im thinking sum sort of sensor any ideas?

Check for proper fuel pump pressure, a dirty fuel filter, and run some fuel injector cleaner thru a tank or two.

A 1997 Renault Clio 1.4 with single-point injection judders and nearly stalls when pulling away or accelerating from low revs, even with the throttle fully open. Ignition parts including leads, rotor, cap, plugs, and coil were replaced, with only brief improvement, and the car has also struggled to start twice. The owner suspects a fuel or sensor issue. The expert recommends checking fuel pump pressure and the fuel filter, then running injector cleaner through a tank or two.
