When my car is cold it accelerates dead jerkily like not enough fuel is reaching the engine. After a bit it stops, say after 15-20 miles.
Any1 got any ideas?

Just had me temp sensor changed as i was usin sh*t loadsa fuel so mabey the engine is not used to less petrol that it used to be runnin on. Is this possible?

mine sometimes does that but more as im slowing down or at a constant speed. I think it has something to do with the fuel management thing, but thats at a guess

when its cold don't floor it or push it hard, can damage engine if you do!

timing could be out slightly which would cause this more noticeably when cold.

What engine is in it?

the problem is too much fuel, not too little, mine judders for a minute or so when its really cold out, just have to put some revs on it or dip the clutch more when pulling off. works for me.

mine also revs without the pedal sometimes, so it could be the idle control valve, also explains high use of fuel?

theres two torque screws, once u located it, unplug the battery negative terminal, unplug the cable thing that goes into the bottom of the motor, and then undo the two screws. it requires a torque bit, that u can get from most car places. clean it, then put it back on, plug cable back in, reconnect battery, voila.
