IceMan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Usually if car is left for a day then from cold it hesitates sporadically. Come off then on throttle but makes no difference, hesitation duration about 1-3 seconds on and off until up to temp. Never happened once warmed up and pulls like a train still when warmed.Getting bad to worse. MODs K&N panel filter , 4-1 ss system - both mods fitted for 3 years so unlikely to be related.Any ideas?

parkesie Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Maybe a lambda sensor starting to show its age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 is your feul filter blocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceMan Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 I thought lambda's either work or don't , didn't think there was an in-between :/ Only happens before the engine reaches optimal temp. I think if the fuel filter was blocked it would perform much worse under load and constantly hesitate through out all temperatures.Gonna check out this lambda business as a majority of you think its this.£20 - 120 miles for me.
