hi peeps slight problem thats nigging me when i start my car and idle for a couple of mins before i set off. when i set off put my foot down it seems rather laggy and when you hit higher rev range it seems to miss pop and bangs and holds back but this is only a problem when cold after a drive of 5-10 minutes and i turn car if for 20 mins and start driving again it is fine any ideas i was guessin plugs or coilpacks but i replaced plugs not long ago any help appriceated
Firstly you don't really want to be reving a cold engine more than you absolutley have too.
Do you mean that you need to turn it off before it clears or it naturally clears after some time of driving it? Do you have a Consult lead? If so may be worth checking to see what the Coolant tempature sensor is up too.

you want to give it time before the OIL is warm.... water temp dont mean shitOriginally Posted by Martain
i give it time to warm up til the water in the engine is warm
but... sounds like:
one or more of the below:
boost leak
plugs
coil packs
still on the standard wing mount intercooler or dv?
standard wing mount and ssqv waiting for front mount to turn up
off topic but...
got a uprated fuel pump yet?
not fited it yet but wouldnt explain why only when cold would it ? plenty of smooth power when warm
considering you're 'giving it large on a cold engine' I'd be more concerned about letting it warm up first, they don't tend to last long when battered about cold.
pop and bang when on throttle or as you come off?
i let the car warm up people i stated this in all my posts i dont cain the car im not a boy racer the car pops slightly on throttle
