Hi.I have just bought a 67 Reg Niro 2,had it about 10 days now.Really nice car but I am struggling to find the best way to drive it.Is my first auto but driven loads before.Foot handbrake has taken a bit of getting used to but nearly there now.
The main problem is when I start it first thing the engine races as if the choke was Full on,sometimes takes up to a minute before it goes off.As it was delivered I have not driven it on a motorway/dual carriageway and have just used A roads and round our local town till I get used to it.This is where it gets a bit confusing start off in EV mode and have kept to the speed limits.A,, good so far but I have found that the engine kicks in even when doing 20/30mph under low throttle.Stop at lights set off in EV and the same thing happens,park up for shopping etc come back 20 mins later start up and the engine is racing again and takes up to 30 secs to cut off.
Is it my driving style or a possible engine management problem.I read all the on line reviews on the Niro and the biggest selling point was the need to only use EV mode around town and local roads..Advise please.Gotmiester.
