Title: starting issues
Post by: mk216vmcj on 08 February 2010, 17:39

hi all
finally my first post after 3 glorious years of mk2 ownership.
when starting  from  cold starts on one cylinder then 2  then 3 then explodes into life as she used to on first turn of  the key.
changed all the usual parts but not FPA or ISV but to no avail. forgot to say this all happens in 5 seconds and need to apply some throttle or this will continue for about 30 secs.l believe kjet should hold 5bar pressure when off.cracked nut off plenty pressure how can i measure this to make sure its enough?could it be fuel pump?or spark?
