LOL! My old Triumph used to do that. The acclerator pumps would flood it when it was cold.


A lot of modern cars have limit set on the engine when its running cold.
My old Civic for example used to disable the VTEC and lower the red line to only 7,200rpm, and I was reading a post in the SRT forum where they mentioned that the SRT4 limits boost and RPM when its cold.
