    Mystery idle issue

    My 740 has a bit of a cough. When it’s idling there is a momentary hiccup like a loss of ignition, it’s tiny and only a millisecond but it makes the engine jump for a split second, it happens every 5-10 seconds when stationary. Seems to drive fine no issues no smoke and smooth.???
