when my car is started in cold weather it cuts out unless i rev the gas it cuts out a few times and i hear popping noisies, it eventually starts but for the first 5 mins of driving it will somtimes not accelorate i can put my foot down and i go nowhere the i suddenly take off this happens untill the car is warmed up and then it drives fine i have had this problem for 2 years i have had coil packs, a full service, cam sensors, cranshaft ect loads and this has cost a lot of money, im now being told its the lamba sonsor and manifold in exhaust i will get this done if it is the problem but i dont want to waste my money like i have already, as other garages are telling me this will not be causing the problem i am also being told its a weather sensor? does anyone have any idea whats up with this car
