I had a similar problem that went away when it warmed up.

The problem was a leak in the inlet manifold gasket. When it warmed up, and everything expanded the leak sealed up and it ran fine.

Wasnt untill the gasket blew out completely that I found the problem.

Check your afm and coil packs, eliminate those two

[EVL032]

i thatght coil packs only break down when they are hot

this is when they arecold itshappening

i have checked my afm it seems alright! i cleaned it the otherday

[Bass Junky]

Mine does that every now and then too.

Runs on one cylinder down.

Does sound a lot like a rex.

Mine goes away after a couple of revs, or just by itself after 10 seconds or so.

Happens very occasionally to me, and at very randow times, hot/cold whenever.

can ne1 solve the mystery

Have you checked the thermostat?

Have you checked the thermostat?

i got new thermostat, new water pump,new radiator new everything with cooling sysytemthe hottest it gets is 80 deg max

Mine was doing the same thing when cold because the ecu thought the car hadn't warmed up yet so was pulling heaps of timing out... it sucked... would come good the exact same place on the way to and from work... weird
