Torque band missing 2000-3000rpm

Could it be the plug leads--how old are they?

Can you avoid it by using light throttle?

As in is there a certain amount of throttle over which it gets crap

Thats what my other car did when the plugs were flowered

Frm what it sunds like, mine does it too. I never thaught anything of it, cos iv never dríven a 4cyl b4 this and i thaught it was just how they r. Let me know if the tune up helps. cos if its fixable id consider it. Thanks

Well, it should not have much torque under about 3k, but its the variation/stuttering of torque that suggests issues.

If it turns out not to be a fault, a supercharger should help!!

what do u mean by original ones?

Original one that came with the car 5 years ago?

I would just change them + plugs, I felt a night and day difference with new ones in.

The problem seems to begetting worse. Its now happening very frequently through all the gears. Over 3000rpm it smooths out a bit but is still not what it should be. I recently put in a pod filter/CAI could this be affecting the AFM?

Happens from 30% throttle or higher.

I checked the leads and they seem to be the original ones.

That sounds EXACTLY like the issue i had with bad leads and plugs, get some good quality plugs and leads, even if it doesn't fix it, its still a good thing to replace
