S.i.m.o.n 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Bit more info i forgot. It runs like this until the Oil temp is at 80oC then it runs perfect. Link to post Share on other sites
Damo 85 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 when you say "no power when cold" how much are you pushing the car? up to what revs etc?? and is it just sluggish or is it juddering/ popping etc... Link to post Share on other sites
S.i.m.o.n 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Upto about 3K never push it when cold. Its sluggish and does judder a bit. Theres no popping but i do get a slight smell of fuel Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 93 engine, coil pack or distributor? Link to post Share on other sites
S.i.m.o.n 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Coil pack Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 my top three would be:coil pack - very similar to the symptoms I had with a dodgy coil / final stage amplifier. Check for crackslamda sensor - as suggested in this thread http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?185177lazy lifter(s) - not working properly until the oil has thinned. mentioned in above thread as well.how long has it been doing it?

S.i.m.o.n 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I only got it on Tuesday but it was not stone cold when i drove it as i started it to listen to the engine for knocks. So im not sure Link to post Share on other sites
