Car Hates The Hot Weather

[Astro Bear]

Hey guys,

I need some advice, and before I get flamed, yes i've searched.

When the weather is hot, my car really hates to start. I put the key in the ignition and turn, the revs jump to 1500ish, then drop to 100-200rpm. Sometimes it stalls, and other times the car revs between 200 and 1500 and rund like a cop until it gets its shit together. This is regardless of the fact that the car has been sitting unused all day. I've done a search, and timing seems to be the common concensus. Does anyone have any opinions or advice?

Thanks again.

If series 2 have a Ignitor module, it could be faulty (play up when hot).

Unstable idle is usually related to the Idle Control valve.

I had a similar engine start problem with my s1 33. After being parked outside for an amount of time in the sun on a stinking hot day, it would take quite a while for the engine to start (which was f'ing annoying!) But once it kicked over, i didnt have any idle issues. I reckon Lance is correct about the igniter module in my case (as it was a series 1), although i am 99.9% sure the s2 33's dont have one.

I'd definitely look into blind_elk's suggestion, and do a bit of research about cleaning up the AAC valve - check the DIY section of the forum.

the ignitor coil as far as im aware are incorporated into the coil packs on the Series 2 engines.

Try the AAC valve... the DIY Luciano was talking about can be accessed from the link below:
