Smokydiesel Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hi all, I've got a 1992 classic V8 that is difficult to start. It always takes about 10 seconds of continues churning before it slowly comes to life. Got the impression that starting is a bit more difficult when hot than cold....... In the end I always get it to run, once it's fired up it runs fine. Battery is full of pep ! Any idea's what could cause this ?? Thanks !

scube Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Temperature sender not telling the ECU that its cold so not starting on choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokydiesel Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Ignition amplifier. Hi, Changed the ECU temp-sensor but without any succes. Could you please tell me a bit more about this Ingnition Amplifier ? Where can I locate it, what does it do, easy change ? Sorry for all the question.....I am a former Diesel-driver so a bit new to the V8-petrol world.. Thanks !! Edwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Full technical manuals & fault-finding guide in the technical archive, best just to work through it methodically. Amp is either on the dizzy or under the coil, but re-reading the symptoms I'd work through the fault book before splashing out on new bits.

vougese39 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 original dealer cap leads and rotor will not go a miss new plugs and retest. so many times the simple bits are missed for being over complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
