Re: [16v] Cold hesitation

Ok kiddies, I'll have a shot at this one.

If your sensor plate is binding whilst lifting it then it is out of 
alignment. This can happen from an intake backfire due to a lean mixture 
setting. READ your Bentley and it has the story about how to realign the 
sensor plate in its hole. I have seen this happen a few times. Check it out.
