been driving about 20mins so up to temp. no still had the problem when got home. never happend b4
Not totally sure then mate,
Fingers crossed it was a random thing, I know that something similar happend with my mums golf and i turned it off and then on again and it was fine.
My mates 172 does splutter and struggle when cold on very slight throttle at a just below 2k revs.
Take it out for a blast later on mate see if it's still doing it. If so i would guess at a fueling problem

thanks mate. will try again later.
could be the induction system playing up - the throttle body can collect carbon particles over time which cause mystifying things like triggering the limp home modes etc. It take 5 mins to take it off and clean it - it may cure the problem if it happens again.
Or it could be wiring related - all sorts of problems can lead to this type of thing.
