Can someone please help with the following, when I start my car in the mornings it sound like it's got a missfire between 1000 - 3000 rpm, can it be the cold start setting on my dicktator 60-2?

When it's hot it idles perfect and no problems

I am taking a shot in the dark here but sounds more like a fueling issue during cold start, maybe check your water temp sender unit first? I had a similar problem a while back, turned out to be the electronic sensor thingi in the dizzy, but you running 60-2 so thats irrelevant. hope you get it sorted. cheerz

It can also be a sensor, will you be able to pick it up on your laptop when you connect the dictator?

Yes if you know what to look at.

Wish you were closer to me but Benoni is a bit far from Krugersdorp?

Do you know anyone this side that knows alot about golfs?

Shaun Du Preez that used to own SRD (Shauns Racing Developments), he specialised in Dictator. I know he sold his business but if you can get hold of him maybe he can point you in the right direction

I spoke to him but he don't have the dyno or laptop for dicktator anymore

Sounds too rich on cold start, probably fouling up a plug
