engine hesitating when cold..also changing fuel filter

[egb16b]

Hey guys got a quick questions about my girlfriends CE Lancer..1.5 SOHC motor.

I know its not a honda but i thougt somebody might be able to help me out.

Basically the car will sometimes hesitate when trying to accelerate when the engine is still cold. Once the car warms up, its fine. It only happens when the car is cold and just after starting the engine.

I gave the car a full service and changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs and leads.
I'm gonna change the fuel filter next week when i have time.

Anybody know what the problem might be???

Hey mate... Did the hesitation start before or after your service? That motor injected? Well how bad is the misfire? does it still start easily or crank for a while? Did it run out of coolant or overheat any time before the hesitation started?

[egb16b]

nah it's been hesitating for a while now. I gave it the full service hoping that might fix it.

The hesitation isn't that bad.. when taking off in first its its fine...then put it into second..at about 2k rpm it will lose power for abuot a second.. then it will come back..

it idles fine and starts fine..its just got the hesitation/loss of power when its cold.

The car's never really had any problems before, this would be the first problem we've come accross..its weird.. =/

There's no problem,
The car is built & tuned for the lowest common denominator,
As such the mixtures are deliberatly just a little on the lean side during cold start so old ladies & retards don't foul their plugs driving 3~400 meters down the road.
Fix is, like your old man would have told you...
Warn the car up before driving.

Got the same sort of issue with my bro's ca18de. If the motor has over heated and then it starts to hesitate what could be the problem?

My car's been doing this aswell, but it hesitates more when he engine has warmed up...i had it checked and my mech says its the THROTTLE BODY, so im gonna get that replaced

Have a look around the throttle body to make sure all the map sensors and cables are clipped in properly

did ur mechanic also check if enough current is flowing through your leads?
hesitating car from MY experience is because there isn't enough current flowing through the cylinders.

just my 2 cents.

How do you test that? Is there a machine

current meter.
take to mechanic and ask him to test it.

or use plastic pliers and pull them slowly out 1 by 1. should shoot little sparks. if it does than needs replacing.
