Title: 1z starting issue
Post by: dubpirate on 05 February 2012, 13:50
the car took about 4 or 5 turns to start today obv with snow this is good

it has just ran mint for half hour covering 15 miles

pulled up and swiched it off not thinking it would start again as it has done previous

it fired streight up

so i knocked it off streight away and tryed again and yep fired streight away

i have not run the car for 4 days

as last time i run it was last tue so car has stood for 5 days

the last time i run it it took ages to start turning over for like a minute

i drove 2 mile (5 mins)

stopped at the petrol station

put fuel in

went to start i was cranking over for like 30 seconds before starting

this was the jurney home from work

same day going to  work just rememberd took a while to start in the morning

drove to work 3 mile 5 - 10 mins quite warm

and i stalled it in the carpark

and it refuesd to fire back up again

cant figure out why it worked today

but this is sending me crazy

any ideas peeps cheers

As per your last thread, I think your pump timing has slipped.
