Title: Actually a car problem
Post by: guest7 on April 29, 2007, 03:27:12 PM

My brother has just bought a tatty Volvo for the tip run. It runs very well when hot but is rough and hesitant when cold. Any thoughts on where to look first?

Cheers

Choke system is where I'd look, don't know volvos particularly but it could be a combination type choke not just a cable to a butterfly, eg bimettalic strip, fast idle cam and conventional choke...
of course if it's fuel injection 999 chances out of 1000 it will be a bad earth, but I bet you never find it... :(
