Question Cold Running

Hey Guys,

I'm a newby, to this forum & cars in general.

Question: I realise that cars tend to run better when it ain't 40 degrees. But my Fiesta seems to run brilliantly in really cold weather, I mean awesome.

Is there some way I can average it out a little, so there's not such a performance slump when it's hot?

Cheers...

quick answer ...nope
cars love cold air coz its more dense meaning more air gets into the engine for combustion ...more air + more combustion = more power ..

Thanks for that, I kind of suspected that would be the answer.

A cold air intake system may be what you're looking for, see mitch's post
