Difficults to start when cold!
« on: 16 December 2011, 14:08:51 »
Hi guys, I need some help out here.

Sometimes my omega won´t start properly by the morning. I guess that it takes more than usualy to start, and I belive that start with 4/5 cylinders but if I accelerate just a bit they start to work ok without any failure anymore.

Only does this when it's cold...

Can this be spark plugs?

I guess around 12k (km), but it runs most of the time on LPG?!?

Check plug wells for oil
Paperclip test for codes
Clean icv won't do any harm either.

"Plug wells" are those spark plug cables connectors?
"Paperclip test" what's that, I guess It's a way of getting error codes right?
"ICV" this I really don't have a clue?

I'm terrible sorry but I don't understand a damn thing  :'(
