939003567 - D003 ENGINE NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY / (IRREGULAR OPERATION)

There are variations in the engine power with the accelerator pedal position stable or the cruise control on. It seems that the vehicle is accelerating or slowing down without the position of the accelerator pedal changing.

Make sure that these fluctuations do not take place at the same time as the air conditioning compressor is switching on or off. Both events could be noticed by an inexperienced driver and perceived as sudden engine acceleration or failure.
