Hi Guys,

Any idea what would be the best place to look first when you have the following symptons....

On starting, the car only seems to be firing on maybe 4 cylinders and then after about 30 seconds all seems to be ok.....

Old style Supra with the flippy lights....


Thanks

Start with ignition side of things (plugs, leads, coil(s) etc.).

Odd what different gas can do.
Our,& nearly every 'liner that I've heard of,runs terribly on BP'Ultimate'.But fine on Texaco super,Optimax etc.
Technically the BP stuff ought to fine, its even tested at higher(real world) inlet,manif temps that Optimax.Go figure.
