Running a bit lumpy...
« on: 25 July 2008, 11:13:06 »
She's started running a bit lumpy over the last couple of days. Most noticeable in idle at 600rpm, when it'll occasionally miss a beat and almost stall.

I had the exhaust changed recently - could that be related?  Do I need to get my codes read? (Jaime - are you around this weekend??  ;) )

Well, there's a bit of an event on over the road that I'd half-hoped to look in on with my free resident's ticket...  :(
