Cold start
Hi guys.
Parked my car last night and travelled with lift club today.
Got home this afternoon and started it to go to gym.
The car sounded like it's missing for about 1 second.
Then idle fine drive fine, no problems.
Can it be because it was cold started?

Re: Cold start
do a diagnostic and see if it shows any dead glow plugs. But yeah I never lose sleep about small / short missfires on cold start.

Re: Cold start
Yes a carpet or old blanket, it helps that the engine doesn't get that cold.
