i have a vovlo with a 2.4L 5 cylinder engine. when i accelerate the engine seems to hesitate and looses power for a split second over and over again until i let go of the gas paddle. this seems to only happen when it is either warm outside or when my engine heats up and thereby turns on the fan. it doesn't seem to do this when it is -10 outside?

If its the timing belt it will do it whether its cold or hot outside.
