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?

its the rmit in carlton so im guessing thats tafe

woohoo

anyway. some flamin mongrel broke into our front yard at work, helped themselves to our truck batteries, GPS and a shitload of tools

must have been midgets too, the hole was so fkn small

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 :thumbsup:

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

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?

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..

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.

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.
