Thread: Car Problem

    Car Problem

    when i start the car up in the morning it sits there idling fine, i pull off the drive and as i get down the street it loses a lot of power, i have to hold the revs high or it kangaroo's, after about 20 seconds this goes and its all fine

    it only happens from cold starts, and if i dont drive along and just leave it idling after about a minute the revs just start to drop and it tries to bring it back up, more often than not though it stalls

    ive changed the coolant temp sensor twice, the ISCV is fairly new, ive changed the throttle body, TDC sensor, air temp sensor, plugs, leads, dizzi cap, rotor arm, and distributor itself all fairly recently

    could the cold start injector be causing it to overfuel ?......

    i really need to sort this out as its driving me mad, its happened before and i thought it was me messing with the TB but ive now changed that and its still the same

    any chance of it being MAP sensor or Lambda related ?

    p.s. my car has Piper cams and a Hill Power chip

    Unplug cold start injector and see what happens, failing that try swapping the ECU for your superchipped one, again filing that swap the lamba

    small screwdriver, or a swiss army kinfe type thing, you need to unclip and move out of the slot one saide and then the other
