Cold Start Problem Plus Dash Query

Recommended Posts

MrG

I am looking at an early D reg 1.9, it starts fine & idles but revs start to drop after about 2 mins or so and if you touch the throttle it dies, restarts ok and when it starts to warm its fine. Any ideas?

 

Also both oil pressure and temp gauges appear not to work, again is this linked or is there 2 other problems?

 

Thanks

The cold starting could be related to a problem with your SAD valve, or maybe a coolant temp sensor (for the ECU). Do a search for that and see if any thing similar comes up, it must have.

The oil pressure and temp gauges have separate senders. Temp is next to the sump plug, and pressure is under the inlet manifold.

Just found that the temp gauge is fine (just seen the car) and it registers about a 3rd of the way on the gauge but the oil pressure gauge doesn't work!
