Holding Back, Sounding like a Scooby & Backfire like ALS
my s2 when i start it up for the 1st time of the day. my car is hard to start and runs lumpy when i rev her up as if she aint running on all cylinders. if i hold it at 3k it sorts it self out. i then drive it when i come on boost normally in 3rd gear it will hold back and sound like a scooby
sometimes it will backfire quit loud and pop and bang like ALS
. once its done that its fine for the rest of the day. but it does this everyday.
any ideas?

if its not been run for a while then u should put new ford plugs, leads, rotor arm and dizzy cap on.
Timing also may be retarded.

mine does the same (startup misfire), just had new plugs, leads, cap, arm, setup @ Pramsport...
When i told jamie, he said it could be the injector seals...
worth a shot maybe? there were some on ebay a while back for cheap...
