Dodgy Running when Cold/Damp ???

Hi guys,

Just as i get one thing sorted along comes another :lol:

Anyway the odd morning I've gotten into my car for the drive to work I have noticed that there seems to be a hesitation when travelling through the rev range, Around 3000 & 4000 seperately.

My first thoughts were that something was stuck in my exhaust pipe (bevilly hills cop style) and the fumes could not escape thus causing the lack of power and juddering. It's difficult to describe but that is how it feels.

Does anybody recognise this problem or understand what I'm talking about?

Generally once the car has warmed up properly then the problem goes away but i get the feeling that it will keep coming back until I can fix it.

please discuss
steve :D

Hey Doink1..

There are a few possible causes.. Ignition..

Plugs.

High tension breaking down in the coil/plug leads.

Distributor cap, check for cracks.

Check & lube multi plugs.

Fuel..

Change fuel filter.

Add two bottles of fuel treatment at half full.
