197 F1 Sport

I've just brought the above car a few weeks back. Is it normal for these to run poor when cold and lack power in till you hit 4thou revs

100% yes.

Yeah, just how these cars are!

The flatspot under 4K revs can be mapped out with a decent remap.

Also flat spot may be exacerbated by a loose MAP sensor, tying it down with a cable tie may help.

Thanks for that I wanted to get a 're map anyway so appreciate the advice

My car has a Superchips BluFin map and I've had no idling, kangarooing or flat spot issues. If the exhaust has been changed you'd be better going for a custom map.

I have a F1. It's not mapped as far as I'm aware but I have a small flat spot about 2500 then it's good. No kangaroo action.

Welcome to the forum!

Perfectly normal to run sluggish on a cold start, especially this time of year! Not as noticeable during the summer months, but it does take a little time to warm up especially if you want to push it hard! Last winter was my first of ownership and I had the paranoia something was wrong but learned to accept it's just copes poorly with cold starts / cold weather!
