bonesvr6 0 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 have you tried changing the lambda sensor? they can cause silly running issues Link to post Share on other sites
manz 0 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 yes, changed that aswel also just to make you aware, its a corrado engine which apparantly has been bored out to a 3.1... every morning i have to start and accelerate just to hold the revs to 1000 for about a min otherwise it will stall. Ive always had this issue even when it was running right but if there is a known solution to that aswell, Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites
