First thing in the morning (as faras i can remember in the cold) my cossie coughs and splutters a helluva lot. there is a smell of petrol and the plugs are sooty.
I know sooty plugs=overfuelling, but could this be anything to do with cold start problems??
The car runs light green injectors and god knows whatelse.
How can this issue be resolved, cos its gettin on me nerves. Will i be better gettin it set up properly, or is there somethin else worth trying first?
