I'm punching the throttle ... more punch, less glow; less punch, more
glow. (!!!) It's also worse at night, when I have the lights on, though
it does happen during the day. This only happens when the temp is
below about 35F, and, oddly enough, totally goes away when the car has
warmed up. It doesn't otherwise seem to affect performance (though the
car backfires like bloody hell when it's cold). >>
TIA,
How about starting by adjusting the fan belt and possibly replacing it too.
