hard starting....

<< < (3/4) > >>

77CVT:
If you got leaking injectors you could end up having my woes at Melbourne - the extra fuel on startup can hammer the rod bearings!

2 short:
i realise this is an old topic but because i have the same problem i was wondering what the fix was?
only difference is mine is an 85 model.

TIPPA:
Sounds like all knowledgeable advice given so my caveman possibility may be way off but here goes... could it be a vapour lock in the fuel line or rail? Maybe the engine heat causes a fuel vapour lock and the pressure pump hasn't enough time to build fuel pressure before you crank it...
Just a thought but then i am used to carbies...

daniel42au:
does it pull a engine code? ie "Service Engine Soon" on the center display console?
There is a water temp sensor down under the throttle body which if it play up makes starting hard.... the way to start it is to push the gas pedal to the floor(wide open throttle) and crank the engine.....if this "cures" your problem... replace that sensor and see how ya go.
