starting problems
« on: 07 July 2012, 00:21:12 »

Hey guy and girls! OK so my omega 2.2 DTi CD has a slight problem waking up, almost as if its acting like a teenager having to wake up for school. Whenever its left for more than 30 minutes, I let the glow plugs warm up then try to start her. It then starts, struggling, then stalls.
Turn the key to start again and tries to turn over but doesn't start unless I have my foot firmly on the gas for about 15 seconds, it then struggles to gain revs but when it does, its fine for the whole jeorney.
If I'm parked facing up hill it takes longer to start up. Such a weird scenario, but hey, cars will be cars.

Any help muchly appreciated

Thanks!

Jack.

Sounds like injector leak off pipes. Park the car facing down hill overnight and I bet it's a piece of piss to start the next morning.
