Intermittent fault

Hi guys - My Cl600TT 2003, has an issue sometimes on starting. It starts fine and the engine seems to be OK, but there is a vibration through the car that isn't normally there. Then you take it for a drive and it got next to no acceleration. Then other times when you start it - it is fine - goes like a bat out of hell. The car is not used very often and is in storage for weeks on end (battery kept charged). It seems like there is a solenoid or relay that doesn't click in sometimes. I have also noticed that my engine light has come on again. (minor problem last time). Any help apprerciated.

I know that engine by heart, with intermittent faults like that just don't waste time guessing
find a local workshop with Xentry and get a diagnostic, you will immediately see what is wrong
send me the result

^ ^ What he said.

You’re not getting any check engine light?
