Rough idle when started cold

[Suffolk Explore]

Hi

Common problem i know but I'm still not sure what to do next.

The symptoms are that the car is trying to stall when i start the car in the morning it sounds very rough.

If i go to work i can leave it for 8 hours and when i go home it will be fine.

I have tried cleaning the MAF & IAC this made no difference, i know it hasn't had the OOM12 kit fitted, but the local garage said they thought it might be the lambda sensors.

Has anyone got an idea of what i should try next?

Sounds like a candidate for the oom12 kit to me. Leaking lower inlet manifold 'o' rings.

I agree with howard completely, I have had my 00m12 done recently by howard and the difference on cold start up is much more than I expected. It was embarrasing to start my ex every morning because it sounded so bad, now it sounds great from the moment I start it up till I shut it down.

Hi

Thanks how much does it normally cost to do this job?

 

[Howard]

Parts are about £50-60 plus 2-3 hours labour. If you fancy a trip I can do supply and fit.
