Hi fellas,

I am now back from Iraq and the wife has wasted no time getting me to fix things.

One is her rover 214 (which we are getting rid of soon) which idles ok when cold but if you put the gas on it will hesitate until it gets warm and then the engine runs fine.

I havent had alook under the bonnet yet but I am thinking some sort of temperature sensor linked to the fuel management?  :-/

Any thought from the experts?  

As always, muchos gracias!! 8-)

Sounds reasonable if it runs fine when hot.

In addition, if it's a single point injection model there's an electric heater in the base of the inlet manifold  to pre-heat it. Might be that that's broken, and also check the air operated flap valve for the warm air intake.
