me also jambo, mine splutters from cold then after about 5 mins or so its fine, runs bang on. i just put it down to mine be more low compression than a std let, but could be something else. also, same again, no codes at all.
ive got a lambda gauge thing for air fuel ration. from cold if you drive it, it runs at 16.0ish, lean, then warms up, runs around the 14.7 mark, good, then floor it goes to 11.2ish, very good. so it isnt a fuel or and air leak issue on mine, just simply crap from cold.
i now sit in my car with it idling for a few mins until it warms up a bit and hovers around the right air fuel ratio.
my coolant temp sender aint been changed, but my icv have been cleaned.
the afm would register a fault on the light if it was dodgy, cts and icv some reason dont for absolutely ages after they have commited death
