when i start up SLYDIT, she runs really really bad until its a bit warmed up.
feels like 2.5 cylinders. no smoke or anything.
purs like a kitten after about 2-3 minutes of idling...

any ideas?

i'm thinking maybe ignition related?

Could be over fueling when it's cold, or could have a couple of plugs that are on their way out. Mine runs a bit rough when it's cold too, but not to the point of having to do much about it.

i can barely back up the drive when its playing up....
it sounds like a bridgeport rotary

i might throw some new plugs at it and see what happens.

Had to change the leads on the NB as it was doing a milder version of a rotary.

Hmmmmmm
sounds like a good excuse for a coil on plug conversion

Mine's the same. New plugs helped but it can still be a bitch some mornings. My guess is that the coolant temp sensor/s might need replacing. Wouldnt mind knowing what the values for them are meant to be so I can test my theory.

Sounds like a good excuse for COPs to me

I'm not sure my emanage computer can drive coil on plugs. Also I'll have to fit a dwell reducer circuit also.
