I’ve had my EP3 facelift type R for about a week now and I’ve noticed some strange behaviour a couple of times now. What’s happened is when I go to pull away immediately after starting the engine, it kinda bogs down and cuts out. This has only happened a couple of times, both time with a slightly cold engine, but not fully cold. The other 20 odd times i’ve started it and pulled away without a problem. I’ve not had enough chance to figure out exactly how to get around it but I think if I leave it to idle for a few seconds before pulling away it seems to work.
I also noticed a bit of a grinding noise as the car started this morning which I haven’t heard before. Hard to describe.
As mentioned in another post, I have also been unsure whether vtec has been engaging/disengaging properly. It isn’t always very noticeable… Perhaps this could be related?
