Changing the dizzy cap and rotor arm made no difference, i have to feather the throttle. I have now bug erd up my idle valve lol, but it still idles and i still have to feather the throttle,,, go figure.

Admin	Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2009 10:02 pm    Post subject: Hi The system needs high fuel pressure for the car to start, so not going to be a case of the fuel draining away. That said, my P4 does a similar thing sometimes. Starts and idles fine, accepts throttle no problem, but regularly stalls once I have reversed out of the drive and go to change to first. All the best Keith

Mine used to bog down when cold really bad until I adjusted it. hey lee, yup i did that not to long ago with a synchrometer I have new rotor arm and dizzy cap, i will fit them tomorrow morning and see if that helps. Dirty injector, wouldn't it happen all the time though? Another symptom is that when starting it idles really low and then very slowly starts to rise to proper idle speed after about 30 secs, idle valve? I was thinking of cleaning it with wd40. Dont think the idle valve has anyhting to do with bogging down when cold under load?

If it's the cold affecting it... Then move. May I suggest this place?

The car starts, idles and fast idles ok. when i go to pull away it bogs down and i have to keep the revs up quite high. Is this normal? I used to face downhill so it might have always done this but I never noticed. Any ideas?
