My Supra sounds like a Scooby?!

Got in the car this morning started it up like normal and immediately knew something was up, the sound was all deep rumbling and loud chugging, just like a Scooby! Very strange, so I went up the road a bit, engine was cold so I didn't go too fast but the car did feel sluggish, so I came back, switched off and waited a bit thinking what's up.

Then switched on again and all back to normal (thank god)! Apart from a Subaru ghost getting into my machine and then getting scared off again what could have happened there?!

I had a similar problem once last summer, I also turned off engine and waited a while. When I turned it back on it run fine and has done ever since. I presumed it was something to do with me not allowing the car to cool down after a good thrashing an hour before. I always let it cool for a couple of minutes, apart from this time I forgot. You may be lucky like me and problem won't arise again :)

mine has sounded like a scooby (only on cold start up) ever since i got it,,

 

could one your injectors be sluggish/blocked when cold so not fueling the same as the others when cold

 

i just had new plugs, packs and clips done lol and i dnt have lack of power, i blame my exhaust for the sound of mine

Started ok this evening and as it happens a new coilpack set was only installed a few months back while trying to sort out another problem so I'm hoping they're not failing already, so I will put it down to 'gremlins' unless it starts happening again. THX for the input guys

 

Swampy I'm in Watlington so not too far from Wallingford
