Title: Idle bad when cold
Post by: Brian the Sn@il on September 12, 2008, 20:14:01
Massive misfires when cold, if i leave her standing ( to warm up )

Its a massive misfire every min of so, like a complete electrical cut out ( not just a 1 cylinder misfires ) its like a complete failure for 0.5 of a second

Once shes warm everything is OK

Is the ECU on the way out  ?

Has anyone else had this problem ?

She starts fine, even left for a month - she fiers up 1st time :)

Sorry,

Its the EFI system.
It now seems to be revving very high at cold.

Somethings a bit strange.

I would change the temperature sensor. It's cheap and easy and may well be the problem.

Let me know if you want the ECU testing. I maybe able to help.

I cleaned up my solenoid and this seemed to cure the problem for me.  I also had a secondard problem of very occasionally it would run like a total pig for a bit, but this seems to be dizzy related as a quick blast of WD40 into the dizzy soon sorts it.
