When I was younger, my mother always said, "The only silly question, is the one you didn't ask"

so....

I have recently bought a 2.4 jtd 20v, and I notice when accelerating there is the slightest judder, then once the car gets about approx 2000rpm, she is fine and consequently goes like a train.

The cambelt and balance pulley were changed at 103k and she is currently on 112k, so I dont think it is that.

I am wondering if it is just how it is. This is my firs 5 cylinder engine - are they all like this?

Do you mean a flat spot or judder?

They often have a flat spot, that's normal.
