MX5
If the car has been stood for a while (over a few hours usually) i get a hesitation under acceleration and a misfire if i lift off or change gear. This last about 2 minutes on first start up only, then it runs fine. I've been told this is pretty normal as they over fuel when cold however, it has only started in the last 2 months.
When the car starts driving normally (after 2 minutes approx) there is a rattle on acceleration. It only occurs on anything over half throttle and starts around 2k revs. It sounds sort of like an exhaust blow with a metallic 'tinkle' at the same time. I've changed the cat to manifold gasket as i thought this was blowing and causing it, but it hasn't made a difference. The exhaust now isn't blowing at all.
I've researched this rattle for months and had no joy solving it. Do i have to live with the noise and the misfires or has anyone experienced similar symptoms?
I would really appreciate some advice.
Cheers,
Simon
