past few days iv noticed my car has been shuddering in 1st and 2nd on startup in the mornings - I can give it throttle and similarly to when my MAF went, it seems to delay on fueling and then comes and goes - although it goes after engine is warm


doesnt sound like it misfiring like coilpack failure and is fine once warmed up

any ideas ??
 
Good day. I having the same issues as above. Anybody have any ideas ?
 
Knowing what car, year, engine size, engine code will help... :)

As is the way of all things with these cars, a scan for fault codes using VCDS or similar is a good start point

Typically these issues can be MAF, vacuum leak and occasionally coil pack related... everyone jumps on the coil pack bandwagon though but unless your car sounds like a scooby and the 'missfire' is constant it probably won't be that...

Welcome to ASN btw ;P
