do you still have the ga16 injectors in?

pss may be the throttle body playing up?

My car almost did it again this morning, i had to give it a bit throttle for it to start. Id doesn't seem to be throttle body because it shows no other symptons of it, plus im on my second one. Are your injectors screwed in fully?

 

[chie]

im running 1.3 injectors and as ian sed its not the tb, i went back to it after 20 mins and she fired up as usual very strainge but not good when im 3 hours late for work

a shot in the dark but could the fuel pump's pre ignition time be a bit too long?

has the car been sitting for a while like 2 days or something?

 

[chie]

hmm might be a good point but im noe fermillier with that
no i parked it up on my drive as usual and got up nextmorning and bang- nothing

ok

the pre ignititon sequence of the fuel pump is that buzzing you hear for a few seconds when you turn the car to the on position in the morning. it's the pump charging the system wiht fuel before the engine starts.

next time it does it, put the key on the on possition and leave it there for a few seconds before starting the engine......


see if that helps
