Mine used to very very very rarely do this every now and then, I haven't seen it happen for a good 12 months now. My first reaction was coilpack and then I never got it to mess up again for the diagnosis...
Hi,
just wondering if anybody knows why my 97 VR6 is shuddering (and sometime it sounds like it is skipping revs [da da da then goes]) during acceleration from low revs when in a higher gear (eg. it normally pulls from 40km/h in 5th @ 900rpm-ish no problem) but lately doing the same even at 50-60 in 5th its temperamental.
Bad fuel maybe? It is normally run on Shell or BP 95/98 and has had a fuel filter replacement about 1 year ago.
It has also had a MSD coilpack and new Ignition Control Module put in it.
Cheers.

No longer rockin the VR-Sex. Onto bigger and better.
My vr6 did this due to a worn engine mount.. which later snapped while driving!
I do drive mine very regularly and sometimes in a stop start pattern....
Mine is only occasional as well
