Clever, I'll try that.

Does your fault tend to do it after a period of braking / slowing down then getting back on the gas to accelerate again .

Yes, but not always.

Have you had it do it when you have let off the power but not done any braking then back on the gas pedal .

Not sure, but I think so.
Thanks for applying brain power and logic to this.
