Gday travellers,

My recent purchase of a GU 2006 Patrol, 4.8L auto has a little quirk.

I've noticed on a number of few occasions, usually when I've come to a stop, and then start to accelerate that the car is lacking power, I'm having to give it a fair amount of revs and even then its only crawling for 5-10 seconds until it starts to properly find 1st gear.

Anyone have any tips on what this is....

I'm thinking with it being an uphill thing it may be to do with fuel getting into the engine etc.....?
