Hi All,

My first time posting. Just bought a '95 850 GLT, with 115,000KM on it, it's in great condition and I love it. Had it about a month and already put 5000KM+ on. However, have noticed that there is a constant and regular, (about every 5 seconds), hesitation in the engine when cruising under power. There is also an audible click, (like the A/C engaging/disengaging but happens even when A/C off), which precedes the hesitation and seems to come from just in front of the centre dashboard, followed by a very soft noise which reminds me of a breathing respirator you see in hospital shows. The noise, (click and gasp) is there during deceleration, not noticeable during acceleration, does not happen at idle or when car is out of gear. Mileage is unaffected, (33mpg/highway), and handling is fine, just annoying like hearing a sink drip at night, and I'm worried it might be foreshadowing something serious. Any suggestions?

Thanks

John
