...erm looks like it to me crim!...the dip and recover at standstill is one of the teltale signs im afraid..seen it on 2 cars recently..mine's been doing it for a bit....very intermitently but its there!!......

the latest theories are that these cam sensors are prone to fail, i think thats been established!!.. but then i suppose they cud send duff info and u get the engine software trying to cope with the signal that then goes away....ie the hesitation and or the blip at standstill....well that my theory anyway..makes a bit of sense i suppose....but should i really be the one to be making heads or tails of this!!!....thinks not!

id report it ......
