Title: Starting Problem
Post by: jjbowman on May 18, 2010, 03:33:34 PM
Hi guys , just recently started with a weird problem,
 
start the FD3s from cold and she starts up and purs no problem real nice, but once engine is fully warm if i turn it off give it 5 then try to start her again she doesnt play nice! takes about 5-6 trys and within those trys it seems as if it struggles real bad once it does start it backfires like hell , so im thinking flooding , but its starting to become a bit of a pain in the arse when going for fuel lol coz i stuggle to get it going again... any ideas why all of a sudden it could be overfueling ??
 
cheers for any help at all!!

It could mean that you need to service the car with new plugs,but it could also be a sign of low compression meaning that an engine build maybe imminent.
