I've still got the same problem and it's getting worse. When I start the car from cold it struggles. It only happens after being stood for more these 3 hours or so. I'll go to pull away and it seems to bog down Like its going to stall and then all of a sudden it jolts forward and then is really bumpy. Makes it look like I can't drive. I've heard before its common on 180s but something must be causing it because it's getting worse. Once going it feels sluggish until 3k rpm then flys (like vtec) lol. Once warm no problem. Just had new spark plugs air filter etc. Essay over any help would be appreciated. Ps after I got my Janspeed fitted it seemed to get worse. Dunno if that helps
