Hi guys hope everyones enjoying the weather, anyway my 2.5 seems to give me a bit of a problem in the morning when i start it first time. it feels like its gonna stall and when you accelerate it just feels like if there is air blokage. but when its warm its fine.... I have cleaned the tps and the icv so what could this be. Ive got a new blue sensor but havent managed to change that yet as that looks very difficult to get to. Could this bee it?

Cheers guys

Highly likely to be the blue temp sensor, this tells the ECU when the car needs extra fuel etc, and fuels the car accordingly, if this is malfunctioning, then poor running will be the result especially when the car is cold, it's not too difficult to change, just use an open ended spanner. Good luck, please report back with the results!

Welsh spanners must be different... I couldn't get near mine, had to take half the car apart and do it with my teeth...
