Car has developed a fault where the throttle pedal will go dead and power to the engine will be momentarily cut until I lift off and reapply. It did it once about 6 weeks ago and I thought little of it but it has happened on the last two journeys I’ve taken the car on.
Most commonly in first gear when pulling away, ie. once I’ve let the clutch out, the car is on the move and I’m starting to give it a bit more throttle. Not exclusive to this scenario though - the first time I noticed it was in a higher gear and at a higher speed.

Hi all
2005 3.2S, 73k miles. Owned for about 3 months.
Car has developed a fault where the throttle pedal will go dead and power to the engine will be momentarily cut until I lift off and reapply. It did it once about 6 weeks ago and I thought little of it but it has happened on the last two journeys I’ve taken the car on.

Any thoughts - is this a common problem?
Thanks,
