Hi all,
This morning was quite a cold morning - I mention this in case it has any relevance.
After a minute or so the car starts running like a sack of crap - stuttering and jumping and then resumed to a nice smooth ride.
I've noticed this on some days before in the cold but today was worse. When going over around 3k revs the car would again start jumping and stuttering and this time I could hear popping or back firing from the rear of the car.
I've done some reading and I know coil's are a common fault but I don't seem to be matching the exact symptoms, but I'm guessing this is still a possibility? Could anyone shed some light?
Thanks,
Ricky
Edit: There are no lights on the dash to show any problems and, I hope this doesn't have any relevance, it went through and passed it's MOT only 2 days ago - I'm hoping they've not tweaked anything, I doubt that though...
