My 04 vrs has developed a strange quirk and it's niggling me somewhat. When cruising at a steady speed, let's say 30 mph in 3rd and I touch the gas gently the car seems to hesitate a touch longer than normal before responding. Once it responds it still pulls absolutely fine but it's just when gently applying throttle that it seems most prominent.

I haven't given it a massive run in the last couple of weeks and as it has been icy I haven't really been opening it up either so I am hoping it's just something to do with that and needs a good blast but I wanted to post in here just to confirm, or find out if it is something more sinister.

Thanks in advance

possible tiny misfire due to what you say. Could also be the first signs of a degrading injector wiring loom which is not a massive hassle to change.
