Quick Question On Cold Start

[AngryRB]

hey,

Ive noticed that when the car hasnt been started for a while ( atleast 3 days) that it will run a bit ruff and shaky for about 20seconds,( exactly like when you give a wipper snipper too much choke and it starts up all shakey then comes good)

Does anyone have this happen? If driven daily it doesnt do this.

how old are the plugs? if old, then try replacing them. also, next time you let it sit for a little while, try letting the fuel pump prime for a few seconds before you start the car (turn the key to ON, let it sit for a few seconds, then turn it to START).

it may also be that your injectors are a little dirty and could do with a proper clean (remove and have professionally clean, not just a bottle of injector cleaner). might be worth changing the fuel filter as well.

final thing is, how old is the fuel in the car? if the car doesn't get driven much, and so the fuel is a few months old, then that won't be helping the problem.

plugs would be about 10 000kms old

usually let it stop its priming so 5seconds, it primes again when the key is turnt ( must be normal)

Fuel filter is 5000km's old

fuel is one week old so fresh, it was being driven daily then was not started for 4days

if driven daily or every couple of days it will start without the symptoms, but ill replace the plugs, filter again and injectors will be replaced in a few months

cheers for the input

Have you had your tuner do your cold start program?
