Karr-Man 0 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I've recently noticed a problem when starting my vr. Ever since i bought her starting has been fine, turn the key and she sprung to life straight away. Recently however whenever i start her from cold, the starter motor is cranking the engine for 3-4 seconds b4 she catches and then she grumbles into life as though its an effort (very lumpily.)Once shes been running for a few seconds everything is fine and theres no noticable loss of power when shes warm. Also starting the engine once shes warm is all normal (starts pretty much straight away)I was wondering whether anyone else had had this or had any suggestions???? Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzark 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'd check the plugs for wear, check/clean the Mass Air Flow sensor and try a different fuel if you're filling up at the same place all the time. Link to post Share on other sites
