Hi Good Evening all. My 2,3 16v starts hot or cold fine but when driving in 1st,2nd and 3rd at low rpm (pulling away or on roundabouts) the car is sluggish and spluttery, as if the car is over fueling. Once i am up the rev range it clears, its almost feels like it is holding back. Do you have any suggestions. Do i need to clean the cold start valve? Thanks Derek |

When was the last service ? and to be honest valvers don't have much going on in the low rev range so unless this has gotten worse recently it may be normal and you just need to give a bit more gas. |

Change the plugs - even if they look OK. |
