My 2.0 JTS is surging at low speeds - it does in fact remind me of a MK II Escort I once owned, with a very 'hot' cam.

It feels as though the engine is right 'off the cam' and it hesitates a little - there's no misfire than I can hear.

Changing down a gear results in smoothness again.

This seems to happen around 2k RPM - and it almost feels like fuel starvation.

The car pulls fine right to red line, and otherwise is ok - fuel consumption is very good too.

Is this the dreaded JTS injector problem?
