Hi
New prob with my 1.7:
I can start the car but it requires some accelerator pressing - it splutters a bit and then starts - after a few seconds it idles well. When warm there is no prob starting.
No driving issues...goes like a rocket....idle fine when warm/hot
As i understand it the fuel input is preset by the ECU when starting so pressing/pumping the accelerator is only adding air to help the start. Has anyone any idea about direction here?...my first thoughts are:
iac valve...but no prob when warm/hot?
FPR?
Leaking injector?
oh and just had a new fuel pump installed + fuel filter (was blowing fuse & this issue was present b4 new pump - i thought the pump was the issue here)....i fear i may have to buy a fuel pressure tester kit to get to the bottom of this. Any suggestion appreciated...many thanks..Pete
