Hi All,
I am having an issue on the cold start where the car starts fine but if I touch the throttle I sense a hesitation and rpm drop for a few seconds. The car won't stall or anything. It only happens on a cold start and will last maybe 5 mins max after that drives beautifully. If I don't touch the throttle everything's fine. I can put it in drive etc (auto) no problem at all. I don't have a vacuum leak, did the smoke test, nothing came up. Emissions seem ok (non-KAT) Measured all the cables resistance all ok, AFM and blue plug temp values match. Done all of the following items, replaced or refurbished them;
-Timing belt change
-Brand new AFM
-New High Power spark plugs
-New fuel filter
-All new fuel lines
-All new oil return lines
-New injectors
-Changed both blue and brown coolant temperature sensors
-Brand new radiator
-Ran smoke test, no leaks from it
-Brand new coil
-Brand new battery
-Brand new ICV
-Checked TPS
-Brand new fuel pump
-Brand new distributor cap and parts
-Refurbished alternator
-Brand new DME and Fuel Pump Relays
-New Exhaust
No faults are stored. Tried the 10 min battery disconnect DME reset, nothing. Compression on all cylinders is perfect. If I press the pedal a bit more (without babying it) the hesitation doesn't occur or cannot be felt. Any theories?
Best,
Omer
