my car runs like crap for the first 10 mins or so, any1 else had this prob?

 

Do you have a picture so I can guess what it is?

Model/year/mods would be helpful, or a crystal ball

Tony

 

sorry mate lol
its a 1994 uk turbo

 

possable the ldle control valve could take mins to warm up or so,

 

Does it try stalling etc?

Tony

 

thats brilliant...

 

If it's doing this when cold, does this go when the engine warms up ( I expect so if you say it goes after 10 minsjust trying to get the symtoms). check if the engine checklight is on if so read engine code's.
I would have a guess at the idle speed control valve or maybe the temp sensor ( ECU not aware the engine is cold) Give the Idle speed control valve a clean first the pipe's aswell.

 

no dosnt stall just hardly any power just driving normaly verry spluttery

 

Coilpacks

 

as soon as it warms up it fine

 

Can still be coilpacks. Damp coils... Your car has 4 and the ends crack on them, any cold weather will cause moisture etc... in the cracks and will cause all sorts of running problems.

 

are they exspensive?

 

£65 each brand new! Second hand is an option... first things first though, remove the coils youve got, and check them for cracks etc... then go from there.

 

cheers mate what should i start improving first power or handling?

 

Firstly id get it running right and give it a good service.

Then id suggest upgrading the brakes, cause on the MY94-MY96 theyre shocking. Ive fitted drilled and grooved discs and uprated pads on mine. Made a BIG difference.

 

Are there any fault codes stored? Have you tried reading them?

 

how do i do that?
