Fuel Starvation

[Gordon]

Has anyone experienced this type of issue?

Started the T this morning and rather than waiting for the electronic choke to stop I just drove off. 20 yards later it felt like the engine was a little starved of fuel. Put my foot down and not much happened. The engine wasn't so starved of fuel that it spluttered or stopped, just that it wouldn't go. After a further 50yrs it was all business as usual. Hasn't happened since. No warning lights illuminated at the time.

The tank was brimmed with Optimax last night from a very busy Shell station so I doubt it was a fuel quality issue.

Happen to anyone else or does anyone have any ideas? Electronic/drive by wire issue perhaps?

Graham, that is nothing to worry about it happens to all if they are not warmed up before moving off, thirty seconds to a minute should do. The engine management basically does not fuel properly I til the cat starts working.

Got it, many thanks Hoolio.

Shit, I'm sorry Gordon. I'm so rubbish with peoples names but that was just crap, sorry.





BTW, I was going to pick you up on "After a further 50 yrs" but i thought i'd let it go :wink:
