I have an M reg Cinquencento (899cc). When warm the car is fine and runs along brilliantly. However I have a real problem when the engine is cold. Firstly it struggles to start and then when I drive down the street and change up to 2nd (or another gear other than 1st) there is no power in the accelerator and the car begins to lurch about (like when you first learn to drive!). The only way to get round it is to hold the clutch in, press the accelerator down much further than I should then lift the clutch slowly which makes it look like I can't drive and also wastes a lot of petrol.
When it gets up to proper temp it is fine.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
