Hi All
Just bought a 2009, 1.6 petrol Zetec S and it seems to have a lumpy idle on start up. It lasts a few seconds then goes away and drives normal.
I take it this isn't normal. Got it booked in for a service next week, but if anyone has any ideas that would be great.
Thanks

Re: Lumpy idle
no idea what it is but my car seems to be similar. if you sit with the engine running for a minute or so every now and then it will misfire. Otherwise seems ok not wanting to investigate until it gets worse. I don't think a service will throw up the problem as you need to be plugged in to the diagnostic machine and that's not part of the service. Most mechanics now are guessers anyway as long as your paying for the parts. "its this or that" been down that road only thing to do is wait for the day it doesn't start at all and then get it seen too.
