Stumbling ingin (5Ks) when cold
Just wondering if my poor li'l 2.2 I5 is just having trouble waking up when
cold because we're running summer gas now. It's been in the 30's at night
and I'm hoping it's the lack of volatility of summer (expensive) gas that's
killing the engine startup and not a cold engine extra fuel injector
thingey dying.
Any combustion experts here?
(blame the gas companies. They're gouging us anyways. And won't raise the
ire of the Audi you knows who.)
BTW, cleaned up the rotor and cap to see if better spark will stop the
stumbling. Didn't help that much.
But there was about 1/2 mm of nice carbon coating on the contact edge.
Cleaned that off quick with my trusty multipurpose lever, poker, scraper
flat blade screwdriver.
