munyac5 Member 28 Member For: 11y 3m 10d Posted 23/10/13 04:34 AM Author Share Posted 23/10/13 04:34 AM So as of Saturday I noticed something abit weird.On cold starts in N or P after about idling for about 1min the car starts missing beat, vibrating, and engine coughing black smoke like its about to stall. If I slightly accelerate it feels weak and feels like it’s about to stall. This continues for about 2mins then everything goes away and idles at a perfect tone all by itself with no black smoke or nothing. At this point in time the temp gauge is like 1/4 and drives perfect and continues to do so when warm. Turn off/back on and as long at the tempo gauge is on around ¼ everything’s fine, anything below it continues to happen. This has been doing the exact same process since Saturday on each occasion when cold. Yesterday I did an oil change, Nulon full synthetic and oil filter and did a trans flush with kit at the same time as it was due. Mechanic also checked plugs n leads and were fine. Mind you I also only get like 300km to a tank max (98ron). This morning I start it and the same sh1t. The car has had a cappa ver1 tune when I bought it. Could it be just the sh1ty tune doing this? Can I keep driving it and not worry until I get my final mods done and get it all custom tuned with the xcal3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me get back to you on that...Oh I was in the right thread. It was in reference to the post above it about the car being fine for 1 minute then coughing smoke etc. Was wondering if it was due to going into closed loop and that showing some sort of problem.
