Hi Malcolm,

I haven't had that experience myself.

Any warning lights on the dash (and does the engine fault light bulb come on when you first turn the ignition on)?

Did the problem start recently? Did it develop gradually or suddenly?

Does the temperature gauge move up as the engine warms up, and does it settle at 3 oclock when fully warmed up?

Did you replace the fuel filter and relay as part of trying to fix this problem, or for another reason?

Has anything else changed recently that seems to correspond to the start of this problem?

Does your car have a conventional throttle cable or is it fly-by-wire (electronic throttle module)?
Do you have a distributor cap and HT leads, or do you have an ignition pencil at each spark plug?

Do you have a fault code reader?

Steve
