cuts out when cold?

[gticupra123]

in the mornings when i use the car for the first 5 mins it will cut out if you dip the clutch, which is getting abit annoying now, then after 5 mins its fine. anyone know why? im guessing its a sensor but dont know which one. thanks

What engine mate? I found that if i unplugged the sensor thats going into the airbox (maf?) then it caused the symptoms you described, suggests that might need a clean/new one

Coolant Temp Sensor could also be at fault.... if it's faulty, it could be telling the ECu that the engine is warm and therefore reduceing the fuel going into the cylinders..... when in fact the engine is cold, and requires increased fueling (i.e. automatic choke)

Sensor should be about £10 from GSF or ECP.
