Title: hot start fault and other probs
Post by: Naughty colin on March 21, 2009, 05:20:32 PM
Right who can figure this out.
Remember its an auto 95 effini.
Starts fine from cold but once up to temp it wont fire so i have to let it sit for 30mins before it will fire.
Very high tickover in neutral and park about 1600 rpm but when in gear it struggles to tick over and i have to feather the throttle to keep it going.
Seems to be losing coolant but i cant see a leak and its only doing about 10 to the gallon.Also lots of bubbly noise from cooling system.
Engine is standard apart from filters and a cat back exhaust.Not had a rebuild since it was imported 3 years ago.
HELP!

sounds like classic low compression sypmtoms and hence rebuild time to me

low compression meaning tip wear and worn housing

low compression meaning engines worn (be it the tip, the housing or another hard seal?)
