krnau 0 Posted June 20, 2009 did you check the timing? any air leaks in vaccum pipes? kr are a hell when they have starting issues. I have had lumpy starting issues for 2 years now and haven't ben able to sort them :lol: did you take it to a garage? I think it is worth paying for ¿2 hours? of a specialist work...
