Hi All

I'm new to this forum and am seeking some advice.  I have a 2012 i30 and have recently noticed that every time I am stationery at traffic lights the car starts to slightly jilt.  It seems to drop a rev or 2 and this can happen up to 7 times.  This is also happening when the air-conditioning is on and at times the heater.  I have taken it to a number of mechanics and despite replacing the injector coils, spark plugs and cleaned throttle body, after a day or two, the car starts jilting again.  The mechanic believes it is ignition related but is also at a loss. 

Is anybody else experiencing the same issues and if so, have you found a resolution?

Thanks

When was the last time the spark plug leads were replaced?

won't these likely be coil on plug type?

A 2nd set of plugs? So you are saying it is fixed properly now?

Obviously, the fault is not troubling NGK too much.

Or, she is working though the 200 suggestions from her 2000 facebook friends.  :snigger:
