Car seem to be intermintently firing on 3 cylinders when driving.. From cold it seems fine fires on 4 and idles ok.. Once warm it idles like shit, everytime you lift the throttle and accerate again it seems like it goes to 3 cylinders for a split second and then clear and fires on 4, sometimes it stays on 3.

Ive changed plugs,leads,dizzy,rotor,and coil and now starting to annoy me a bit. cleaned the idle valve, no difference. Could the lambda cause both issues or is it more likely to be more than one thing

have you checked your ECU area for damp?

No I havent yet.. Could be an option given the weather recently and the car being stood for 2 months.. Where is it exactly, not had to fiddle with it before so never seen where it lives..

are you 100% certain it changes with temperature ?

what about the coolant temp sensor ?
