Oh and when turning ingition to on, the step before starting, there is a high piched noise coming from the throttle body motor thst doesn't stop until the car it started. Is this normal?
Hi guys
I have a 53 plate 172 cup and I have been having trouble starting from warm. It starts and runs fine but once it warms it develops a very slight missfire. If you turn it off hot and leave it for anymore than 5-10 minutes it struggles to start, turning over freely but takes a while to...
Recently had this with my 172 cup, although your avatar is a 197 so may be different. Mine was a faulty injector. Cheap code reader is a wise purchase as I would guess its probably stored the code.
Ok so I've been doing quite a bit of searching on here and noticed a lot of threads aren't updated by the OP. In this case it was a faulty injector at £80 :)

Some of the better ones

Thanks dudes, I know the idle is lumpy but this is just rediculous. Car has a bit of a cough starting from cold but fine, once its warm it idles like its almost running on 3. I'll have to get a video I think. Also starts perfect from hot immediately after turning it off, but struggles if you...
Hi all. New to the club with my recent purchase, a 172 cup.
