Default mk1 rs cutting out!!!

My frs cuts out when first started in the morning (rain or shine) it just cant hold the revs, once i start it again its fine, it has only been happening since i put the k&n back on that the previous owner removed (he said he only removed it for sale purposes)
any ideas guys?

My car sometimes suffers from this, ive noticed it happens more when the tank is below a quarter?
I havnt had a chance to get a look yet, but il let you know if i find anything.
Like you say it fires then dies. Start again and it runs fine.
Strange eh?

Ive got the same problem on mine. I asked someone at pod at the weekend and they told me theres a pipe on the back thats common for collapsing and causing it to cut out. Any one heard of this or??

If it ran fine before you touched it. It's not the car it's something you've done
