Title: Fd won\'t start
Post by: allrounda88 on April 04, 2013, 09:45:29 PM
HI guys

after winter today i wanted to start my fd
it turns but won\'t start
i removed the spark plugs and put it brand new ones

now i removed them again and erased the fuel pump and i turned it again

a lot of oil with fuel came out of the spark plugs holes
after third time nothing
i dried it and let it rest to saturday and i will try again if it starts

what do you think is it possible that there is too much fuel and oil in the rooms?



 on the pics everything what came out of the holes and how they looked after one turn

Dont worry it looks like it is just flooded with fuel.

Try it again on Saturday if not tow the car in third gear with the ignition switched on and no throttle and it will start gradually and then pick up and run with clouds of white smoke till the fuel has burnt out of the exhaust system

I think he means:

Turn on ignition
Put car in 3rd gear
Ask a friend to either (a) push your car down a hill or (b) give you a tow with another car
As you go along the engine should gradually start, then you can put it back to neutral, stop the car and leave the engine running at idle until it\'s warmed up.


Unfortunately, if the car has been left flooded since October there is a risk that the water seals will have been eroded by the fuel sitting in the chambers, symptoms of this are similar to a head gasket failure on a normal piston engine.  Hopefully not!
