Hi all.
Looking for some help on my 182.
Every time I take my Clio out I go through the gears and when I get up to 5th it's starts stuttering like it's going into limp mode. I go back through the gears and it's still really lumpy then after 5-10 seconds it sorts itself out. It seems to only be when it's cold, I've had it plugged in and comes up, just wondering if anyone has had the same problem and what to do about it. Hope someone can help. Many thanks

Check your throttle body and lambda readings, is it running standard map? As has been suggested, check your coilpack, leads & plugs and go from there.

HT leads from the coilpack or one of the above

If it's lambdas you could swap them around to see if the front is faulty? The second one doesn't throw it into limp mode does it

It's fine when it's warm, just happens when you first start it.

I thought the lambda run open loop from a cold start so wont really effect the running of the car until up to temp?

Sounds like a standard lumpy cold clio to me. Just keep the revs low for the first min or two and then all is good?

I wouldn't worry too much.
