yeah, so the el, shes had a stuttering problem(where it nearly stalls) whens its cold for some time now, ive tried everything i can think of to fix the problem, we took it in 3 weeks ago to get a new exhaust, we got a new sports exhaust (a 2 1/2inch pipe and 2 mufflers) fitted (btw, its f&^ken awesome, for both sound and performance), we got the fan belt replaced, its had new leads, new sparks,new oil, new oil filter, new air filter, 6 treatments of injector cleaner(so im assuming theyre clean), its getting a transmission service done in a few weeks, its been serviced 4 times since the problem started, and it still did not fix it.

now please someone help me out!!!

i dont know what else it could be, ive been told before about the intake being loose, and ive checked and tightened everything i could see, anyone got any ideas what it could be??

any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks

sounds like your car is not going into warmup when cold.

could be inlet air temp sensor and/or engine coolant temp sensor

Get the injectors cleaned properly (take em out, then ultrasonically) if you want them clean.

Also could be intake manifold gasket leak.

Check the inside of the dizzy cap on the pole pieces if it's got a build up of clicker then it will run a bit crook. But sounds more like a couple of crook injectors to me.
