  • Lack of Power When "cold"

    Does anyone else have this problem, when the car is cold there is not near as much power than if it is warm?

    Mine is like that when cold. Stalls out if you try to drive off without letting the engine warm up for a few minutes. I have a carburetted engine and this is normal. If yours is fuel injected you may have a problem...

      yeah my has a carburettor as well, if i try and pick up speed really quickly when it is cold, there is a fair bit of "jerking"

        Mine does that too....

        Not fun if you're late for work and you don't have to for the car to warm up.
