The last two times mine has been able to start without stalling, it’s still not good, but I think getting over 1000 miles and really starting to push it harder has helped. Can’t be sure though 🤷♀️
Just an update on this, I’m currently at 1200 miles, the last 2 times the car has started but desperately wanted to die, I’d have shot it in the back of the head if it was a dog it sounded so bad. The gearbox grind / grumble has reduced significantly since lower mileage, not entirely gone, but...
I appreciate you bringing up the cold start stall, it’s a shame they have a demo car that exhibits said behaviour and haven’t done more to diagnose that. Is there anyone at Lotus I should make aware of this issue? I’m not trying to be a jobs worth, honestly I’m just sitting on it currently to...
@TomE - both myself and @Wonza have identical first start stalling issues. No resolution on this yet but I’ll make sure to feed it back here if I can! My Emira is a V6 FE manufactured in June/July. Stalls after being left overnight on first start, and then fires up fine the second time around...
Just throwing my hat in the ring, picked up a V6 last Thursday and that has stalled every time after being left overnight on the first start. Proceeds to start fine the second time. Assume it’s on the latest software, very lumpy idle until warmed up also. Will let you guys know how I get on.
Let's hope so, I'm at around 500 miles and it definitely seems to be more of a grumble than the grind it was on day one. I remember pulling into the service station to swap seats and let the missus have a go, I thought she was trying to pull away in 3rd it sounded so bad! I'll try and keep...
Oh man... it's just so awful though. Had multiple people comment on it over my first weekend of owning the car. It does sound like it has gotten somewhat better from 0 - 500 miles though, hopefully, it continues to improve. More reason for the Miltek exhaust to cover it up 🍻 Anyone else have...
