[QUOTE="bimmer9, post: 22321, member: 4073"] hi guys, five months after my car went thru the m42 conversion, my first prob has come up.Here's what happens, everytime I start the car everything is normal, when i give it a bit of gas it starts idling roughly (like its on 3 cylinders) and hesitates to move/rev. So what I need to do is give it a good hard rev for about 30 secs and everything comes back to normal. No problems at all while driving, it only happens when I start the engine.But apart from that, I have noticed slight power loss, as in the car hesitates slightly and feels somewhat heavy? But then again that might be just me used to the m42 nowMy mechanic reckons its the spark plug cables, I am going to try on some second hand ones.But somehow I dont think thats the problem, correct me if im wrng but if it was the plug cables it will happen erracticaly at any time. But this only happens when I start the car. Weird ayy?Sifu's pls advise!Thanks [/QUOTE]
