Default rst running problem

Hello! I have a problem with my rst. When the car is cold is running perfect. But after a while on traffic start snarling! Especial between 950 rpm and 2000.. Seems like working with three cylinders.... What could stop working when the car is warm???

id take it to a tuner mate i have the same prob on my xr3i and have changed every part i can think of

yours has got to be fuel/idel related,

try the easy stuff first plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rota arm after that def go see a specialist
