Hi All,
I have a 01 AU V8 Fairlane which seems to have a problem on cold start up. The car starts and idles perfectly but once you engage drive, the car misses and coughs under low to mid throttle for about the first 200m. It doesn't seem to matter if you let the car warm up or not. To date, the following has been replaced. TPS Injectors O2 Sensors Leads Iridium Plugs Cats The car has 135,000 kays on it and other than that drives perfectly. On warm start up or even after the car has been sitting for 2 hours- everything is fine. It's only happening on cold start once the engine has load on it in drive. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I thought TPS- but this hasn't fixed it!! |

So it wasn't the TPS huh? Interesting.
Not to make the thread go off topic, but I will give you a ring about getting the bonnet on the XR done some time soon to hopefully. Daniel

Yeah no love with the TPS unfortunately. I thought that would fix it- but of course, anything I own with a blue oval on it is causing me problems. Don't ask about the effy!
No probs with the bonnet. You've got my card or just pm me. |
