  8. Problem starting when cold but fine when hot..

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted

    Problem been developing over the last couple of weeks...sometimes bad, sometimes fine but it's definately got worse in the last few days.

    When the car has been stood for say over an hour or overnght it struggles to start, taking 5-10 seconds of turning over until it starts then it briefly sometimes sounds lumpy...

    Once the car has run it'll start no problems..

    New starter motor about 10k ago

    New Battery similar

    New plugs and leads

    Original coil pack re-fitted about 6 weeks ago as the newer replacement one packed in.

    No fault codes

    Its a 97 VR with 115k on.

    I only do about two 5 mile runs per day.

    I'm possibly thinking the battery could be shot due to the constant stop starting?

    Any other suggestions as of where to look?

    Cheers

  10. Think i might have heated leather?...Can someone confirm?

    Got myself some Colour Concept Interior off ebay for a bargain £80 and i think they might also be heated...but i'm not too sure what im looking at as i havent seen heated seats before.

    They have a few wires, a female plug and what looks like a relay (square thing with a number on.. Would that mean they have the wires there for heating?

    Do i just need to buy the switch and loom?

    Any pics of the underside of a seat would be great :-d

    Thanks

  19. Misfiring again!! any feed back would be welcome!!!

    /\ He's suggesting the cylinder head gasket maybe on its way...which would cause a missfire.

    But the fact that it runs ok for a while makes me think it would be either the leads/plugs/fuel pump/relay...

    At least if you get a compression test done then that would put that one to bed.

    Have you tried unplugging each lead,one at a time, starting the car then using insulated pliers hold the lead on and listening to see if the engine runs any different? You can then gauge which cylinder is causing the missfire.

    Like i said i had the same problems for 2 weeks over Xmas (with no fault codes) and did all the above for it to be 2 dodgy leads and one dodgy plug.Even one of the new leads i bought was faulty! I'm currently running a mixture of old and new as i dont want to disturb things!
