Title: Start up trouble. Cat converter?????
Post by: TopRaver on 29 May 2012, 20:38

Hi since the lovely spell of hot weather this last week. I go to start the car before and after work and its coughing, spluttering, chugging and farting. Then the revs kick in and it starts to idle correctly. All is well :rolleyes: settles down and off i go. :smiley:

I have a 16804 cat bank1 code which ive not got round to sorting. Is this whats causing it?
Personally i think the cats had it as im now at 102550 miles. And this fault code is logged in the memory.
I am however getting a decent 37mpg and 42 on a good run which is why im not thinking lamda probe. Unsure?

Any thoughts or suggestions from the knowledgable would be much appriciated cheers.
