I have a problem when running engine cold. I pull away and the engine is really jerky. When the revs get around 3000rpm and above it runs fine. The problem completely dissapears when the engines warm. It doesn't have to be a cold day for it to happen. Any ideas what could be the cause? Thanks

I think its just a 180 thing as mine also does it but I always tend to let it warm up before driving it,

IIRC it can be the idle control valve but as said 180's can be dodgy in cold starts anyway, although I hear a re-map can sort this problem.

I'm going to be visiting RS tuning soon for a map and will see if that sorts it, I'm not really to sure what else it could be, does the 180 not have an electric icv?,

They may be electronic, i still think it can be replaced though.

it idles fine its just really lumpy when you start going. The acceleration isn't smooth and it doesn't really accelerate until after 3000RPM

They haven't got an idle control valve, as said above they all seem to be pretty s**t for the first couple of minutes when cold, if its really bad you could try having it plugged into a code reader see if there's any faults.

Mine does this as well, its usually when the secondary air system is doing its thing that it occurs. When this has finished (usually a minute or two) its usually ok to drive.
If i drive around and park up for a bit and drive off it can be ok, leave it to long and i have to sit and wait again.
I can't recall when it started doing it either. I've had a remap and have got an induction kit fitted i don't recall it happening before then or even directly after then.
Im guessing its all down to the cold gases in the system. A mechanic at peueot mentioned about putting original air box back on to see if that effects it.
