Yes an auto.
I cleaned the MAF and MAP sensors yesterday and put the Castrol 2T into the tank before a fill. Still there.
Will take a look at the SCV and look into the torque converter.
Will post an update once I get it sorted.
cheers
Paul

Yeah, good point as they all seem to be different.
Ours, a 2015 MN Manual has it when going down a slight incline in the road - mainly when cruise control is on, rarely when not using cruise control. Ours is more of feeling like the car is slightly stopping, then surging to catch up, so like a mild bunny hop type feeling.
We're also now 12months and 33,000 kms later (first reported as an issue after the 1500km 'free' service) and STILL NO FIX by the dealers, MMA or "Japan". Data has be taken on numerous onroad tests and sent away, but still no solution. It's going back Monday for two weeks so they can try and fix it once and for all, otherwise, we're going for a full refund under the Australian Consumer Laws
Current thinking by MMA and our dealers service tech is that our issue is software related, possibly linked to the software patch / fix that occurred due to the radiator overheating issue. We'll see ... in the meantime, in the last few weeks, they replaced #3 injector as per MMA instruction off some of the data and in the process have now created a diesel leak. Reported that when it went back last week, got told all OK, no leak, but after a drive this morning the strong smell of diesel flooded our garage - climbed under to find the chassis rail soaking wet with diesel.
They've also managed to scratch our bonnet, and left wheel guard.
It's very much a constant process of two steps back, so hence the 'final straw" and two to to fix it or we're off to fair trading for a full refund.

He said he also found the turbo host to be loose; the clamp was tight but it wasn't making a good seal. He had to use a socket to tighten it right up. Don't know which one fixed it, but it's now perfect again. Actually better than new, it's now got more off the mark than it ever had. I mentioned the problem (sluggish off the mark) to Mitsu every service since 30K.. and never a fix.

I cleaned out the carbon build up maybe 15,000 Ks ago, so i am surprised it is doing it again.
My question is, does it really build up this quick? i have actually got a EGR bypass i put in about 2 months ago so i am surprised it is surging now as i assumed the carbon would not build up with it closed off.
Or is there a chance such a thing could be caused by something else? such as bad fuel, as i did recently let the fuel get close to empty.
I also noticed it only happens when the car has warmed up and getting to a standard operating temp ( in the middle on the temp gauge ), it has been warmer days recently too when it has started.
I am starting to lose my mind on this. Does anyone have any recommendations? Would be much appreciated.
