aCNDerivative Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Hi guys,Having a nightmare with my 51 reg Lupo E type at the moment. Just had to replace the pedalbox and cracked engine cylinder...Now I've got a problem with getting the car to start when the engine is cold. The EPC light will normally come on when the ignition is started and the car makes a very odd rattling noise. Most of the time it will also be limited to 2000 revs, when it isn't and I stop revving the engine the car will (or almost will) totally cut out until the engine has warmed up at which point it runs like a dream; no rattling noise and no problems. EPC light also goes off.Already cleaned the old throttle body and that made no difference. Bought a refurbed replacement, cleaned that but no difference.Any ideas?
