My girlfriend has a Ford KA mk2 which I believe is really a Fiat 500. The engine is a petrol 1.2l and is 2013.
I've been looking on this forum at previous threads about the rough running from cold start which seems to be a common problem. Surely someone has had this problem fixed as it doesn't seem normal to me as the car never used to do it until this year. She has had the car from new and it's been serviced regularly.
The problem is that for the first 10 or 15 seconds the idle from cold is rough before settling down and then the car runs perfectly all day before the same problem re occurs the next morning. The ECU was interrogated but there are no codes stored. I've also asked this question on another forum but no one has returned with an explanation as to why it does it.
I hope you guys will be able to help and not throw me off the forum as the car hasn't got the fiat badge. Like I say, the engine is made by Fiat and even the MOT man was surprised at the similarity under the bonnet.
Thanks, and I look forward to your replies.
