HELP NEEDED mk1 vtr!!!

[sam_16v]

i have a 98 mk1 vtr (black top) when i first start it and the temperature is cold it struggles to pull away. when the temperature gauge reads half way it drives fine but stuters on 3.5k -5k rpm

ive changed the plugs leads look new so does the coilpack

water isnt mixing with oil but it smokes alot on startup from cold

i have also tried another lambda sensor

mines same mate, especially with the cold weather. Dread winter for that reason.

it used to okay only started doing it the other day when i start it first thing in the morning i have to build the revs up to 2.5 to pull away slowly

lambda?

edit: check the coil and leads anyway. my old coilpack looked perfect on the outside, but was completely fucked

Try also the coolant temp sensor & the air temp sensor mate.

damn! mines not that bad, just doesn't like the cold weather, sometimes stalls if i set of straight from cold.

if you manage to get it fixed, post it on here.

I would try the coolant temp sensor if its just from cold like steve said :y:

[sam_16v]

ive got a spare temp sensor, il try that tomorrow. didnt realise the coolant temp sensor could affect the running of a car?

Yeah all the sensors around the engine can,because they send info back to the ecu.:drink:

I don't mean to be funny but why re-post something that has already been said??

Hey Sam you don't have any luck do you mate?, does it smoke all the time now or just when cold?

How much smoke? Does said smoke stink of fuel?

[henryvtr]

My car was missing every now and then till one day it was spluttering and stalling, had a go at a few different sensors, turned out to be map sensor, the one on the inlet mani, couldn't believe it, only £30 from gsf,
