Hi guys, My 06 zd30 is shuddering on take off, i think thats what its called. The engine rattles a bit then it goes away. It also does in 2nd gear if i accelerate to much while the revs are low. What causes this? Lack of boost at low revs?
Definitely a clutch related issue or possibly a loose/broken engine mount.
After a quick search id say its detonation or engine chatter

Im running rumpigs remap. I was thinking something along those lines possibly even carbon build up. I have a catch can but i dont think it catches all the oil its one of those calibre ones, iv been meaning to replace it for a while now. I also have a front mount intercooler that i want to take out and clean its probably full of oil
I have had a similar problem to this, so the following could be worth a go. I had vibration from idle that got much worse between 1500-1800 rpm to the point of "shudder" when accelerating and then no problem at cruising revs/speeds.
Had me beat for a month or two. I was checking engine mounts, looking for loose brackets and so on. Found nothing. Then one day I noticed the engine covered in oil, looked underneath and so was the gearbox. The catch can was blocked, eventually forcing oil out through the seals.
Took the pcv pipe off the rocker cover and symptoms completely disappeared. In my instance I put the pipes back onto the catch can in a hurry on day (pro vent) and had it plumbed back to front. Good catch can but I guess they aren't ******** proof lol. I don't know anything about your particular catch can, but if it's blocked, possibly doing the same thing?
. Get a short bit of hose and let the pcv vent straight to the air and see if it makes any difference. Can't hurt anyway, worth a try
Calibre catch cans are very simple. An inlet, an outlet, and an empty can underneath. No one-way valve or anything fancy. It's a Calibre, after all! It doesn't mean that the hoses can't get blocked.
Another thing to consider is whether the past EGR soot + PCV oil expulsion has done in the intake manifold. Issues like sticking throttle body valves and sticking EGR valves can restrict airflow or reduce available oxygen for combustion.
