when driving over 40 mph i can feel the car jerking slightly as if its gunna run out of petrol, i had a problem 2 weeks ago with the throttle, it wouln't rev over 2000rpm but it cured itself. any suggestions.

My vehicle speed sensor (attached to the gearbox and the speedo cable on older models) had shot and it was causing all sorts of driving problems. It eventually started to stall randomly because the car didnt know what mixture to make-up as it didnt know how fast it was going without a VSS.

 

Dont know if the V6 is the same or not.

I have noticed that my accelerator peddle has become quite hard to press the further i push, it could be the traction control unit but no warning light has come on and i know it works (light). Sounds daft but im gunna jack front up and check the front wheel bearings havent collapsed cos theres a deep humming under very heavy braking. i had an xr4x4 that never hummed then the front wheel locked up the bearing had collapsed.
