Hey guys,
I'm sorry to be starting another post regarding bad starting, but I've just spent $500 on diagnostics with no fix. I'm hoping someone may have had a similar problem in the past. My XR6 VCT Ute (series 2) takes about 3 goes to start when cold. It starts fine, runs for about a second, and dies, about three times. On the third or fourth time it sustains, but struggles and idles badly for a few seconds. It starts first go when warm, but still a little rough. The following items have been checked: Ignition leads (replaced) spark plugs (replaced) crank angle sensor & cam angle sensor injectors (serviced) fuel rail and pressure fuel filter (replaced) IAC valve (cleaned) battery throttle body coil packs VCT system (as it has a vacuum connection to something) The only other thing I can think of is the engine computer. Which means my next move will be to have it removed and tested by Ford, an expensive exercise I'll bet. If anyone has any experience with bad starting that was not due to the above components, please let me know. |
