This has been extremely intermittent, only happened two to three times in the last 18 months. Driving along, take foot off accelerator to slow down, then reapply accelerator - no response from the engine at all. Its as though the accelerator pedal has gone to sleep, or is not connected at all..After about 2 seconds, it springs to life again. Very strange, and a bit disconcerting when you expect power to come on and it doesnt.. Ive had a quick look around the pedal, disconnected and reconnected the connector, see how that goes. Anyone else experienced this?

In my quest to get to the bottom of this, i was experimenting with very slight accelerator input whilst the engine was running and in Park. I found with the slightest of slightest accelerator input, the engine starts to hunt, only by a couple hundred rpm, but it is very noticeable.. with a tiny bit more input, the hunting disappears, and if you take foot off accelerator the hunting disappears and the engine returns to normal idle..very strange.
