my rs is pissing me off in the mornings when cold
i love the car to bits but whenever i use it for the 1st time that day it drives like a bag of dog turd.
i have a scangauge fitted and whenever it plays up it turns the scangauge off, and once back to normal it comes back on ??
it misfires through every gear and judders about as if its running on 2/3 cylinders. once warmed up and back to normal its fine
im running tubular manifold,
mongoose exhaust,
tuna remap
msd coilpack
k&n gen2 filter
running 22 psi
just for those who may wonder if it could be any of the mods.
also at around 10 psi theres a slight judder
any advice would be great

Mine does the same but starts perfect with half a tank in.

what base map are you on AF or AE as AE was always a pain for cold starts thats why AF was introduced but that can cause a cough at 4500rpm when tuning what are your plug gaps set at?and are they in good condition?
