Hi,
I have a 2005 182 with a strange issue when starting that only occurs when ambient temps are above around 15c. Car starts and idles fine and then for about 30 seconds after setting off it has low power and almost feels like the car is misfiring. Also get the occasional pop from the exhaust which makes me think it is overfueling. In the winter the car runs perfectly every time. It feels to me like it is running a cold start procedure when it shouldn’t in the warmer temps.
Other strange part is if I get back in the car after driving it starts and runs fine when the engine is already warm and ambient temp is warm.
Have recently changed the coolant temp sensor with a genuine Renault one but made no difference. Car has had new injectors recently and crank sensor. No codes or lights on dash.
Any ideas?
