Hi everyone and greetings from the UK ,
My problem seems to be the old uneveness/hesitation one and is like , When I start the car up from cold, it fires up ok but idles really roughly going from about 750rpm sometimes up to 1000rpm and sometimes down to below 500rpm. when i drive off it smooths out but if I stop at a junction it starts to become uneven again and often almost cuts out when I go to move off (which is just dandy if you're trying to get out of a busy intersection). The coolant temp comes up to normal in the usual time but this problem continues for maybe 15 minutes until the engine is really warmed up. It doesn't overheat and otherwise runs ok when fully warm. It is a real PITA though when cold . It's a MY2000 Legacy GX automatic 2.5 litre EJ251 engine UK spec model. Any ideas guys?
