Hi ya all, I have a small problem with my silver beauty I can't resolve by myself. When cold after night or simply colder than 30" Celsius, engine refuses to idle. After ignitig it catches about 1200 rpm, then lowers to about 1000, then rapidly starts to idle roughly, and then dies. Second ignition usually is sucessful one and engine idles at about 1000, heating itself, alhough not very smooth, but at least it doesn't die. But it happened once or twice, that I had to ignite it three times, before it idled. Well, temperatures outside will definetly fall and problem will rather rise than diminish, so I'm trying do do something with that idling. So there's a question - since it may be oxygen sensor, exactly, heating of it - how to check it? How to determine is sensor well heated?? I have WIS/ASRA 2006, but there's nothing about sensor heating - or I can't locate the info... Another idea is PMS - original one died when I trided to ignite my car by puling it (acccu was completely flat at that moment) and was replaced with one form C180. Recently I tried to do same trick, meaning start the engine by pulling the car. After that for a moment engine was not willing to start and didn't idle at all. Erasing memory - by disconnecting accu - mend the problem, but ever after that moment it didn't worked so somooth as before. Well, maybe PMS gradually gives up?? What do you all think of it? Anyone encountered similar problems?? Cheers, Andrzej
