My P38 4.0 2001 model starts perfectly but suffers a serious power loss when cold.
I live on a hill, when I set off down hill I don't really notice it. When I set off uphill it really struggles to the point where it doesn't move. It doesn't stall but won't rev up to get the power needed. It eventually stutters up the hill and when I get to next hill it's ok.
I may be wrong but it also seems to take a bit longer to get warm.
There is no overheating or anything.
I recently changed exhaust manifold and put on a new MAF sensor which cured a stalling problem.
I have a fault mate which shows no faults.
Struggling with this. All help appreciated.
Cheers.
