As stated in the topic when i start the engine my car chokes,and if i dont give a bit of gas it's working at 400rpm and then it dies.When i give a bit of gas there's a petrol smell and a exploding sound in the exhaust....really don't know what it is(think you call it missfire?)...maybe it's unburned fuel in the exhaust pipes?Eventualy when the engine warms up everything is normal but from time to time if i rev it...there's that smell of petrol again,and i've noticed that the engine temp is a bit higher that normal 95-96 C.Recenty i have changed the spark plugs(GM ones),cleaned EGR and ICV valve,had a complete set cambelt change(the cambelt and that other stuff that the cambelt is wraped around)Sorry for being ingnorant about this things and i dont really know all the english technical terms.
Can anyone help me solve my problem?
Thanks.
