I went to look at an mx5 today - it had a 1.6lt 131k mile engine. When cold its engine rocked a lot but settled down after a minute of two. Anything worth worrying about? The exhaust manifold had a gentle blow but it has been fully serviced including water pump and belt etc.

Maybe an engine mount worn or split especially if the exhaust is blowing. The engine movement may have caused the blow. Reasonably cheap and easy to fix though.

Maybe a misfire when cold?
Coil / plug / tight valve issue?

Cheers for the help. Sadly I didn't win the auction so the search continues!
