cold start lumpy running?

[Sean.]

Hi all, just thought id ask this question...

I have a clio 52 plate 172.

no problems with it. all fine just wondered if anyone had this same observation...

when i drive it from cold, eg first thing in the morning i find the car very stuttery to drive...idle is perfect...but when driving uber slow, eg under 2500revs 1st 2nd 3rd gear when cold i find the engine just holds back a little...

by stuttery i dont mean it cuts out or is spluttering all over the place, its very subtle but can feel it just doing something! anyone get the same thing?

Yes my 182 does this. When you rev when it is cold does it pop back? I think this is normal. Lee

just needs warming up

they all do it, do a search on here, its until the oil is up to temp, you'll also find the rev limiter is lower until its warm, apparently!
