Hi, I get the following symptoms sometimes from cold starting. The engine turns over on the starter motor but does not fire, at the same time all the dials go round to maximum deflection and stay there until I stop turning the key. Turn the key off and start again and the car will start. Sometimes have to do this 3 or 4 times to get it to fire. Once it has started it starts again without a problem and runs perfectly.
This problem seems to manifest itself after being left overnight. The battery is sound,and I can hear the fuel pump working and I always allow it to run until it is quiet before I try to start the car to ensure the fuel is where it needs to be. It has had new plugs recently and as I said earlier once started it runs extremely well.
I am at a loss at where to look to solve the problem and would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.
PS When the dials go to full deflection,it automatically zero's the trip meter but the clock and radio do not need resetting.
