Oh man, my car does that too! When it's really hot outside the car won't start up / idle properly and I have to keep feathering the throttle for it to keep running. Does my head in.

Yeah that's it.

How long have you had this problem?

What have you tried to solve it?

[alr33x]

by the sounds of it he feathers the throttle.

[Mohsen]

Haha sorry, that was a cheap shot I know.. Just wanted to join in on the hating I felt left out.

It's okay <3

mohsen theres both uni and tafe there but mech engineering is at uni, I used to go there. I hope unlike me, you'll spend your time in lectures/tutes and not on the 3rd floor at the cafe playing pool.

Oh and for quality rmit chickitas, hit the arts/music/business etc buildings across the road

SO BORED !

[Do-Luck]

Just had a Compact Fluroescent globe (energy saving) explode. Scared the fucking shit out of me!

Supposed to vacate the room because of the mercury, but it's a bit hard in a 1 bedroom apartment lol

[Astro Bear]

Yeah that's it.

I've had the problem ever since I bought it 2.5 years ago. Basically when it's hot I know to keep my foot on the accelerator lol. It coughs and splutters for the first 30 seconds or so and sounds like it's running on 5 cylinders lol. It wants to stall desperately, but then it comes good.

I have a feeling it's the ignition module. Any suggestions?

[Do-Luck]

And the mercury does fuck all. Just found that you'd need to break over 100 of them for it to cause any health issues. Internet rumours at work

[R-SPEC]

Lol I've broken 4 of those on my head. Still breathin

[Mohsen]

those big halogen out door ones are LOUD. threw one into the skip at work, though its just gona crack.

throw it in, BANG! fkn shat a brick

in other news, had person with me today in my car, they go to to fiddle with the centre vent (they wanted the ac on) and the whole thing just crumbles....

now to buy a secondhand one..

[paulr33]

the car should start the same if its hot or cold

do you mean the water temp is cold ,30deg ish and its hot out side 35deg and it doesnt start?

or after driving it, in summer, when you goto restart car whilst still hot, it doesnt start ?

Chatted to couple of buddies, one reckon it could be IAC or AAC or whatever valve but you mentioned ignition module...

May give it a go.

[Kaz200]

only on starting or when driving? accelerating or slowing down? 2 yrs, did you post in the tech/maintenance section yet? Lots of ppl have these problems with stalling

unr33l if you're bored u should have gone to meeting!

Bit of both, just struggle to start on hot weather even if motor haven't started in a day or 2.

One time, started it up no worries, drove to work, 7 hours later it struggled to start until I pumping the acc pedal for it to start.
