GizzmoAsus Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Did you ever find a solution to this problem. I seem to be having the same problem and cant fathem it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_aaron Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 (edited) i think its just the engines in the cold weather as i've just gave mine the best service i eva done, oil/oil filter, discs/pads, flushed PAS system out and filled up with new stuff, bled the cooling system and brakes, clean everything from the ram pipe of my viper,right through to the inlet manifold AGAIN, flushed the engine with a 3/4 botle of REDX and a full tank of fuel, so lets see 2moro how it goes.... EDIT: the usual anti freeze ETC... Edited December 12, 2004 by geordie_aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
