Well my P38 doesn't seem to like the cold!

I've recently had to replace the battery and it now starts lovely but I cannot drive the beast until it has warmed up after 5-10 mins. When cold it struggles to idle and cuts out 3 or 4 times until properly warmed up. This has been getting progressively worse over the past month.

We hooked it up and no faults codes are showing and we've replaced the air flow sensor but it was no better. Replacement plugs help slightly but still cutting out when cold.

I am hoping to 'borrow' a similar Landy to nick bits off and see if it helps but that might not be for a day or two.

Does anyone had anything else to suggest or am I looking at replacing more expensive sensors?

Cleaning the idle air control valve might be a good place to start.
