Title: Trouble starting!
Post by: RandomDan on March 31, 2014, 07:57:08 PM
Over the last week or so my FD as developed an issue when starting up.
Pretty much every time i start it up first thing in the morning i takes a little while to kick in.
It started off a couple of turn overs and got longer and longer till it gets to the point i think its not going to.

My car is a 99 typeR with no engine mods other than a BOV.

Iv removed the UIM to check the coils and they seem to be fine if my understanding of the voltmeter is right!

I did however find this while i had it all off.
One of the my check valves leading to the pressure chamber is broken!

Would this be causing it?

Any help would be great at this point as i have no ideas!
