Chugging problem...

**grandkodiak** · 02-02-2007, 06:42 PM

When the motors freshly started and its colder out, the car bucks pretty bad from 1,000-1,500 rpm and then is fine not 2 minutes later. Happens in the morning when I start up and drive down my street to go to work/school. Doesnt matter what gear but i dont get out of 1st or 2nd until i get to the major road and by then its gone. Any ideas?

Is it hard to start also? If so I have the same problem, and I can't figure it out. If you let it run a few minutes before you drive it it seems to help.

what about later in the day, after has sat a couple of hours?

No starts up pretty good, never had any issues with that so far...

And no later in the day I dont notice it at all, even when I leave work or class several hours later.

ITs happening now even when the motor is warmed up... any ideas? (all new plugs, wires, injectors......) and it wasnt doing this the first 2-3 weeks i've had it back...

My car does the same thing sometimes, and like you said only when it's freshly started. My seemed to start doing that after I put a new throttle body on it. Interested to see if anyone has any answers or ideas for this.

I got a new tb on with the heads/cam... but I swear it wasnt doing this for the first few weeks i had the car back... it just, appeared. but its also been about 20 degrees colder then it ever is, and its still fuckin cold out.
