Holds back on acceleration when cold

[Kchristmas]

I have a 1.2 16v which for the first minute when the engine is cold, the car will hold back on acceleration an then suddenly give it? This only happens occasionally, any ideas?

Plugs, leads, coil, sensor. A hole host of things mate. Any lights come on? Low fuel maybe

No lights come and and it's never got less than 90 miles in the tank (according to the mpg thing) as I dont trust it haha

Just keep an eye on it mate, it will progressively get worse and hopefully be easier to diagnose. At the moment it will be purely guess work which costs money

I will do! I've been looking at swapping the plugs anyway, I want a dogbone mount with power flex bushes first but I'm not sure if it will fit?

 

[imprezaworks]

Not sure mate sorry. When were the plugs last done, any ideas?

No problem I'm sure someone will know! I've had the car for 18 month in which they haven't been done but it didn't come with much service history so I'm not sure when I get Abit more money I'm wanting to fit new filters and give it a good service

Sounds like a plan mate
