Title: 2.6 Omega Elite
Post by trigger GB on 19. Jan 2011 at 18:27

Hi

My 2.6 Elite starts first turn of the key but struggles to pull away until warm, then runs perfect.

Could this be a fault or is this standard for the Elite's?

Thanks to anyone who can help

It isnt a standard characteristic, but Im not sure what might cause this. Sorry not to be of much help.

Either it's not a 2.6 or you've been had mate. 2.6s don't have plug leads.

If it were an old escort I'd be looking at the choke. ;)
