I recently had a diagnosis of faulty Cam shaft magent. This has since been replaced and the car still struggles to accelerate when warming up.
Basically from a cold start it will run like a train until the engine temp reads just under 80, at this point it enters a strange sort of safe mode (where the engine seems choked and takes an age to accelerate). However after running for another 10-15 minutes it reverts back to running normally.
After the Cam Magnet was changed it hasnt been put back on STAR to reset the fault. Could it be that it needs to have the fault code reset to run normally all the time?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
