cold stumbling?
When the car is cold (series 5 t2), meaning under a quarter stock temp gauge... after about 2 minutes of running... (or less)... the car falls flat on it's face if i give it more than 25% throttle. WTF gives? It used to hesitate before... but I do mean falls flat... like hitting a brick wall... but you can tell it's huffing and puffing trying to stay alive. This only happened after I started ******* around with the cold idle aspect of my throttle body (people... LEAVE THIS ALONE... it's IMPOSSIBLE to set it back to factory specs without pulling the tb)...
Now i just wanted to know, is this a coincidence, or is it the cold idle aspect of the TB that I have to re-adjust?
Once it warms up (1/4 gauge to 1/2 gauge), it runs like a dream.
Now I know i'm not supposed to feed her any more than 25% throttle when it's cold anyway... but say someone breaks into her and I have to crank her up to chase him down and bootfuck him... I need the ability to step on it cold to be there
