Breathing issues
« on: 10 January 2010, 14:37 »
Hi guys n gals

Has any one come across this before....
cars a digi with 2l 2e bottom end...
im having real starting issues just now, at first i thought it was starter motor, u would turn the key it would try and turn and then die before starting again, then all of a sudden fire up and run.... its new battery and starter is abt a year old

i was having a play today and noticed the flying saucer one the rocker cover was half out of the rocker cover, the car was running so i pulled it out, expected the engine to die with sudden extra air, instead it made the engine sound smoother...
turned the car off and on loads and its firing up first time everytime, has any one got any ideas why this would be happening??
why it runs better with out the saucer on there

cheers
