V8S stalling when cold
Discussion
Help! My V8S always starts perfectly no matter how cold it is but after about 1 minute it frequently stalls and cannot be restarted for half an hour at least. If I can manage not to dip the clutch after driving off from cold it keeps going but the first junction see's it stalling no matter what I do with the Go pedal! If I just let the car sit (for over 5 mins sometimes) until the temp gauge starts to move then all is well.
The (authorised) dealer has had it in twice and can't find any faults and have replaced coils, throttle sensors etc. It's going back in this week but I'm less than hopefull.
It sounds like a running too rich problem to me as when it's warming up, blipping the throttle causes the revs to die rather than rise.
Can anyone suggest a proper cure as just waiting for it to warm up is both annoying and causing more wear on the engine than preferable?
