faster first thing

[_Tom]

Can anyone tell me why my car seems to have about a 30% power increase first thing in the mornin or when its not been drivin for a while but slow when it warm? Is it possibly the fueling because thats what ive had mentioned to me? They say in the morning the auto choke may be on giving it more fuel or a better mixture makin it go better?

Any ideas anyone or had the same problem?

Are you runing an open induction kit? If you are thats your problem as as it sucking in hot air once you engine is warm.

power is related to temperature difference - ideal is hot inside and cold outside. as stated steve a says your engine will be drawing in warm air from the engine, therefore decreasing performance.

Yes its possible if you car is running lean, when the auto choke enrichens the mixture it is actually running properly but once hot it is running lean.

Or it could be cause of an open IK but I doubt you would loose 30% power through a bit of heat.

i am runnin a ram air kit at the mo but its exactly the same when ive got the standard air box on. Ive got it booked into a renault specailist down my way now. So hopefully theyll find what it is! Also when the car fully cools down but it has been run that day itll run slow! Its really gettin on my tits now too cus theres of couple of lads with there rsis who used to have no probs with but now there quicker! How annoying is that!
