Default Car nearly stalling in traffic......

Hi all,

I've looked at the FAQ and it kinda deals with this, but I still feel the need to post mose specifically to get some other views.

When I'm in heavy traffic and am about to set off in first, the car occasionally almost seems to stall on light throttle even before I let the clutch out. If I rev the car a couple of times first then no problem. But on the occasions when it happens if I just set off naturally like in any other car, the engine nearly gives up - revs drop really low and then it just catches again before stalling and off we go. All this said, I seem to remember that one or two or all three of my other past S2Ks have occasionally displayed similar behavior.

Is this a common fault with S2Ks and, if so, is there an easy fix or do we just live with it??

Kind regards to all,

Mike

Heatsoak or "kangarooing"
Blip it before pulling off
Or spend some money on numerous cooling mods
