Wondering if anyone can help. My car does not run well when it is cold. Sometimes worse than others, it feels as though it is misfiring, although i'm not sure if that is what it is.
Have replaced the distributor cap, HT leads, rocker cover gasget, plugs, oil, fuel filter, and the garage replaced a temperature sensor not sure which one! Still the problem is the same. I think i've heard of it being a common problem with these engines but don't know. It is totally fine after it has been running for 10 mins or so, runs really nicely infact.
it is getting worse but very slowly. started off only doing it when it was frosty and if i let it idle for a while after i turned it on, defrosting the windscreen etc.. that was a few years ago. now it does it most times but only for a bit after you turn it on
thanks
