Fiesta Engine Shudder - IKM

On my 2000 Fiesta 1.3, 42000 miles, the engine seems to shudder briefly when the accelerator is pressed rapidly to the floor, particularly in the lower gears. Is this likely to be a worn engine mounting? Any other ideas?

Wouldn't normally suspect engine mountings at this age/mileage.
Sounds more like an HT lead or plug problem.

Hello.

Do you mean a rattle when you realease the peddle and press it quickly.

Does this engine have a timing chain.

Rattle from the lash of a chain.

Kind regards.
