Hi all. Im a newbie on here and im just gauging interest on a clean it, fix it morning, afternoon, day at my workshop in longridge, Preston, be good to meet north west and surrounding people and swap info and experience. Lots of tools available, trolley jack, kettle (bring some biscuits)...

my issue was moisture on the 2 x leads under the plenums. cleaned them all up and did the same with the plugs and runs like a dream. i was thinking all sorts, coil, leads, plugs, lambda but an hour of fixing and cleaning and she's smooth as you like

Mine is doing the same too. From cold i get a lumpy 30-40 seconds then pop she fires up and is fine from then on. ive just changed the air temp sensor today but still the same. Mine is a phase 1 on a 2000. will she have two sensors pre and post cat?

is it mis firing on idle or under load or both?

Thanks everybody . I'll give you a shout if I need any help
