Title: Possible blockage
Post by: nixoro on 10 July 2007, 16:53:04

I recently thought the thermostat was knackered and car seems to have calmed down since but just lately from a cold start if I start the car with the ac on the car tends to rock blip of the accelerator a few times and the car settles fine.

Could this be a blockage in the exhaust system somewhere, plenty of back pressure and the car seems to be running ok at the moment.

I have checked the exhaust for air leaks and to me its all sound.

Any ideas would be much appreciated  :-/

Does the car start ok from cold without AC? Wondered if it is a sign the gas is getting low :-?

The AC was refilled about 4-5 months ago and the ac is still blowing nice and cold. :-/
