Jerky Start in the morning
« on: 02 March 2004, 09:44 »
Been cold recently, bloody cold...

My car kinda coughs, splutters and then starts when I crank it up.  Normally have no probs starting during non frosty nights.  Is this an anti-freeze prob?

Look at the dizzy , leads etc.

sounds like you have a problem of the electrical sort somewhere .

If it was anti-freeze then you would just have a major overheating problem etc.
