Right chaps the car is now running but a bit on the rough side, i think the timing is out! i'm buying a timing gun 2moro so that can be sorted fairly easily!

trouble is it runs ok if a bit lumpy when warm but when starting from cold its rubbish it takes at least 5 minutes of cranking the engine over until it catches then it's like its missing on some cylinders then as the car warms up it smooths out but it takes at least 10-15mins of driving for it too feel normal-ish???

any ideas chaps

water temp sensor makes it richer on cold start.

i'll give that a go! it was runnig quite good before the boost pip broke, then i fixed that & the temp sender, gave it a proper service of all service items & fluids & now have starting troubles, i gotta crack this & go for a spin with a full tank of fuel

i want to start fitting my new components intercooler/boost controller (new-one) 255ltr pump & a few other bits & give it a good velet inside & out!
