Thought I had sorted my starting problems, but again this morning it took ages to start, once started its fine and ticks over nicely :)

 

It was parked in my garage last night? so I`m still only assuming its something to do with cold start?

 

any help would be appreciated , thanks

Back of engine passenger side, bolted on to the plenum matey :) It should have a yellow two pin connector attached to it at the top. This is the ICV wire, the one under that is to do with the AC.

 

HTH

Thanks steamiester :) ,just looking at it now :/

You find the fault yet Daz?

Not sure Gaz,:) its just playing up when she's cold, it starts fine when warm, but takes a good 10 turns to fire the bitch up :((((

Ha,ha ..she gets nothing but TLC , I think she`s seen the TT go for a little drive out and gone on strike coz she had to stay out in the cold :)

Ah yes I had this problem when I had the two zeds.You would go out with one and the other one would get jealous and stat playing up. Fairladys mate you cant live without them or have more than one:biggrin:

I would try another coolent temp sensor, does the AC elec fan kick in at all?

 

Had the same problem before, and if the sensor is goosed then it overfuels which makes cold starting difficult

Thanks Jaffa' glad you mentioned that as last time I tried my air con it came out warm air!!!, is the temp sensor the one on the left or right looking at the engine?

daz i think you should take yours to jeff, spend loads of money there and get it fixed then tell me what the issue was so i can sort it cheap :rofl:

 

 

Lol, Jeff did mention the temp sensor, but I don't know how to fix it, tried to call zed world today to book it in, but they must be having a day off

looks like no JAE for me if i don`t get it fixed :(

 

If you could get it to JAE then perhaps Jeff could cast his eye over it - its probably something simple.

It's the one with the injector like connector mate :) Right one..

He's ruled out driver error mate :lol:

Yeh, one on the left has the injector type connector :-)

Does water piss out when the sensor comes out?

Yeah, mikey's right it's the left one ;)

 

 

To your water pissing out Q. you may loose a tiny amount but you'll need to bleed the rad a little too anyway. And DON'T do it when the engines up to temp!!

Is there a way of telling that's its goosed?

Yeah, it won't work :laugh:

Har fooking har :-)

Har fooking har :-)

 

:lol:

 

 

 

You could always try connecting a multimeter to it then drop it in a pan of water (upto the sensor part) bring that to the boil and watch the multimeter. Measure resistance and as the water gets hotter the resistance should go down... If the res goes down smoothly then all's good.

daz what have you tried so far??

 

i have changed

 

fuel filter

all fuel lines

maff

ptu

plugs

ecu

injectors

fuel temp sensor

cas unit

all 6 coil packs

 

Not changed anything yet, I've just tw@tted everything with a lump hammer :-)

easier to just swop it with the one on your tt mate. lol

 

Will do mate :-) and thanks for your help steamiester and jaffa:-)

First thing in the morning I will swap the sensor over and will give you a bell dude :-)

Thought you were a mechanic? Lol

Not sure if this link will be of help but I thought it might be worth a look.
