Uk Ford Cougar 99 T 2.0 L

[SJ]

Just wondered if you have any ideas my 99 T reg Ford Cougar is sort of kangerooing when you try to maintain a speed, the car is jolting forward & increasing the rev's itself.! I don't know if this is related but the car increases the revs momentarilly whilst ticking over at preset increments.
The problem seems to be made worse if the air con is on however it does continue to do this without the air con being on, has recently been serviced but these problems remain, Just wondered if you had any idea what it could be?

:banghead:

This could be down to the EGR valve matey, common problem with the cougar and mondeo/contour. Pull the pipe from the egr valve and plug it with nail or similar. See how it runs. ;)

Mine was doing this and it was the EGR valve. Plugging the pipe worked for me.
