fun starting-take off problems

Featured Replies

hello

when i start the car from cold, and pull away it seems to bog down, and slightly splutter a bit if that makes sence, once its moved out of the street it seems fine, could it be fuel problem?

also my funs done aprox 80k miles, when should the timing belt be done?

thanks

What's the cold idle like?

just the same a bit spluttery, but it does tick over ok, well i can start it and let it sit, i dont need to keep the revs up with the pedal or anything, but need to dip clutch on take off some times to prevent stalling

When were the plugs and leads last changed?

I'm probably going to be asking a lot of questions I'm afraid; this isn't an easy single cause diagnosis.

plugs should have been done prior to my purchase in febuary, as it was serviced by the main dealer

where in scotland are you abouts?

Far n/w.

Cam belt is usually every 40K - I would change now to be safe if it doesn't say otherwise in your service book.
