laurenceharding Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Could be......leads, dizzy cap + rotor arm mabe wornwas the timing belt done recently?no, would the timing playing up explain the up and down revs? because when warmed up in settles.the problem i have now is the cold start idle, it starts up and stays on normal idle instead of idling at about 1200 rpm.so basically runs like a sack of shit when i start it up in the morning.it has to be something electrical, a sensor as you said before, but i cannot seem to narrow it down.as i said before, it runs spot on once its warned up.
