00 2.4L full throttle sputter
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 2:37 AM
2000 2.4 L with 160 xxx KM and no check engine light or codes...... o and its got cold air intake and exhaust if that matters ... plugs were done at 135 xxx KM and i just did the fuel filter again... it also had a new fuel pump at 150 xxxKM

It seems whens its around 15 C or below in temperature outside and i start my car after it has been sitting for a half a day or more its runs kinda funny for a couple minutes. For example i will start it up and go, but if i give it to much gas...maybe half throttle or more it sputters almost dies and falls flat on its face yet after 5 minutes not even i dont have this problem any more

car runs perfect other than that little hiccup

any ideas?

im not sure... but people usually check the rubber hose that connects to the map sensor.. its a well known issue.
