Had a wee issue coming home from work tonight.
Under acceleration between 60-75 mph the car felt very lumpy and hesitant,and the eml was flashing.
Eased off and tried again and had the same issue.
Have also noticed at idle there is a faint hesitance and slight lumpiness although the revs stay ok.
Does this maybe point to a coil pack on the way out?
After a quick browse thats what it seems to point to-I'm trying to get hold of a mechanic friend who services my car to give it a once over,so any further info would be appreciated.
 
Could be. Does it throw a code? When I had a similar thing with my 3.2, it was the MAF that was at fault. Could probably need a good clean

Number 5 coil is away,unfortunately old one snapped trying to get it out.Can't get new one til tomorrow anyway.Least I know now.
 
A mechanic friend has diagnostics and gave it the once over for me.He runs his own business so absolutely trust him :)
