aye. .cheers stewart.. you aint wrong....but any garages/pug experts in Essex /herts who can do the following ..1.SET THE TIMING..2.ADJUST ALL THE MIXTURES IE FUEL & AIR. WITHIN TOLERANCE...3 CHECK FOR ANY LEAKY PIPES IN THE ENGINE BAY..4.CHECK THE FOLLOWING..M.A.F. COOLENT SENSORS..COLD START SYSTEM..5...LASTLY STICK IT ON A ROLLING ROAD 7 SET UP FOR THE ROAD....IVE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES ..ON START UP/ COLD START..IT WONT START ON ITS OWN VIA THE KEY..I HAVE TO SIT IN IT & FEATHER THE THROTTLE FOR 2 MIN MIN..ITS CHOKEY & RUNNING RICH..THE EXHAUST BACK BOX IS SOOTY & FUEL ODOURS ARE PRESENT....THE IDLE IS AT 1500 RPM WITH THE BRASS SCREW FULLY WOUND IN..WHEN IT GETS WARMISH IT THEN CUTS OUT..IE THE REVS DROP OFF..THEN U NEED TO TURN THE SCREW OUT TILL ITS SITTING /IDLING AT 1200 RPM..MOST OF MY JOURNEYS ARE SHORT TRIPS STOP START..IE WORK KIDS TO SCHOOL ETC ...SO HOW CAN I CHECK THE BASICS FIRST..IE THE COLD/PRE START FOR THE INJECTION SYSTEM THERE MUST BE A BUILT IN CHOKE SET UP TO KEEP THE CAR IDLING WHEN COLD THEN THE REVS DROP TO SAY 900 RPM WHEN OFF CHOKE..THIS IS MORE NEEDED NOW DUE TO MY LATE FINISHES & EARLY STARTS..SHORT TRIPS..

is your ENTER key broken and the CAPS LOCK on jimmy?!

 

 

aye. .cheers stewart.. you aint wrong....but any garages/pug experts in Essex /herts who can do the following ..

1. Set the timing..

2. Adjust all the mixtures ie fuel & air. within tolerance...

3 Check for any leaky pipes in the engine bay..

4. Check the following..m.a.f. coolant sensors..cold start system..

5...lastly stick it on a rolling road 7 set up for the road....

 

I've the following issues ..on start up/ cold start, it wont start on its own via the key, I have to sit in it & feather the throttle for 2 minutes minimum, seems to be running rich

 

The exhaust back box is sooty & fuel odours are present, the idle is at 1500 rpm with the brass screw fully wound in, when it gets warmish it then cuts out, i.e the revs drop off

 

Then you need to turn the screw out till its sitting /idling at 1200 rpm, most of my journeys are short trips stop start, ie work kids to school etc.

 

How do I check the basics first, i.e. the cold/pre start for the injection system, there must be a built in choke set up to keep the car idling when cold then the revs drop to say 900 rpm when off choke, this is more needed now due to my late finishes & early starts, short trips..

 

 

 

1, that is easy enough to do yourself, its two 11mm nuts, it has been covered a few times recently.

 

2. any MOT garage can do that for you.

 

3. you can do that.

 

4, it does not have a MAF, it is an AFM, it doesn't have a "cold start system" only a supplementary air device (S.A.D.) which leaks more air into the engine when its cold.

 

5, That's not particularly necessary, but would be the way to get it running 100%.

 

 

Track and Road in Rainham are well regarded.
