Hi all,
Thanks for having this forum. I am a recent buyer of a 2012 Mclaren MP4-12C. It is a wonderful car.
I have in the last few days noticed an issue presenting itself and wanted to see if anyone else has or is experiencing the same before I take it down for service. A bit about the car.....
2550 Miles since new
Has the standard upgrades by Mclaren to up the power and other features
Specifically, during cold starts it skips and missfires which causes the Check Engine Light (CEL) to blink. This goes on for about 1 minute then the light goes off. Then last night after this cold start issue the car ran ok but after it warmed up, while driving and making a few hard acceleration runs (up to the posted speed limit of course...lol) i noticed it seemed to have a high speed miss.
Having been around race cars most of my adult life, the symptoms seem to be that of a spark plug or plug wire or coil issue.
I welcome any thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts....
Tom
