Cold start 16v......
« on: 02 February 2006, 19:07 »
My 16v really isn't liking these cold mornings! struggles to start and have to keep ignition turned all the way round for 2-3 seconds to make it start. Doesn't idle very well and sometimes the revs die and stalls as I go to put it in first after moving off the drive. Once warm through starts firts time fine and idles as expected. Recently had new plugs and leads by the way.

Anything I can do without taking it to the garage?

go to halfords and get a can of easy start, probably just the electrics being rather cold.
