Should I Look At Relay 27/30?

[Andy JG]

Hi, It's good to find this forum. I've had a galaxy 2.3 for 10 years now and it's done good service upto 110K. Serviced regular etc. Recently I've had one of 2 niggles I hope to put right.

 

For a few months now the engine stutters intermittently. Usually (always?) when warned up, ok from cold. It's never failed to start. Sometimes I lose all power completely for 1-2 seconds, but more often it's a lack of power and response when putting my foot down on the accelerator. It happens most days now. Garage not much help - as when they run diagnostics everything seems to be fine!

 

Question: Reading around the forum the relay 27/30 seems to cause similar problems. Should I start by replacing this, or look somewhere else?

 

(I had a coil pack go a couple of years ago, but that was a misfire and constant)

 

Any thoughts welcome!

The relay is cheap and simple enough to replace....if its not knackered it probably on the way out anyway.
