cold start

Post by nnelg »

when i start my car in the morning it goes to very low revs like its about to stall and then comes back up to normal, wondering if theres anything wrong or will just a simple oil change/service do the trick

cheers

the infamous stepper motor problem strikes again. Its the stepper motor dude...if in any doubt, go to the FTO help threads and look for the similar posts same as yours. There are like more than 10 posts regarding this problem. U should be able to find out more from there.

Depends... mine dips for a split second, nothing wrong with it. Never feels like it's gonna stall though.
