Advice, Information or Help
As in the title.......
Last couple of weeks the car has started to "play up" on starting. I've had a new battery so I no it's not that. Car is garaged overnight and it's not like it's been in the cold mornings. When trying to start, the car won't fire up until I've depressed accelerator a couple of times and eventually it'll start. It's not just in the morning but everytime I go to start the car up same thing happens:wonder: I know it might be difficult from my description to give me idea's and some have said "plugs or fuel filter" other people I know have said "fuel pump" Just wondered if any of you guys have had the same problem and what you did to sort the issue out Car is a MY07 and has been serviced every May:) |
I would get it to a specialist for a definitive answer as the guessing game sometimes can backfire if diagnosed wrong,but it does sound like it could be either electrical or fuelling,but my advice get it checked out by a specialist.SJ.

Coolant sensor maybe?.

Cheers SJ
Cheers johned. Never even thought about anything like coolant sensor, although it happens from cold or when it's been run!!!! |
Are you blipping the throttle at all before firing up?
Even a light touch can cause flooding. |

Even a light touch can cause flooding. So then used a little bit of throttle and it "fires up" on second turn over of engine. Not sure thats the best way to explain it but it's the best way I can manage:wonder: Cheers:thumb: |
mine does the same,i now have to prime the pump by leaving the ignition on for 6-7 seconds before starting.i have a fuelab pressure reg going on soon so hopefully that clears it up.
do you get black smoke? |

try priming it before starting it
As for the "black smoke" I don't get any when running although I've noticed some small, I'm assuming, carbon/soot type deposits on garage rear wall from out of the exhaust!! |
mine sometimes puffs out black smoke when started when its warm,not a lot but you can see it
get somebody to start the car with and without priming it while you watch the exhaust |
