Now - I know I don't like cold mornings but nor does my car either it seems. It's a 1997 Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo, and after standing it runs very 'lumpy' at first, after a couple of miles the problems gone.
The lumpy running is like poor throttle response, and jerkiness.
Can anyone suggest what a mechanical novice like myself can check /clean/twiddle or whatever.
Thanks

Is the engine consuming coolant? If so could be weepy head gasket. Check coolant temperature sensor resistance at low (overnight) temperature. Occasionally seen that the sensor goes out of spec. at very low engine temperatures, (especially renaults!) then recovers as engine warms up. Otherwise check condition of plugs and leads. Not sure if this mota has hydraulic valve lifters in which case incorrect or dirty oil could be causing a valve(s) to stick.
