Warm start problems - ?
The car starts up fine when cold. No smoke and it starts right up!
But after its warmed up, sometimes (alot of times) it has a hard time starting. Need to keep the gas down a bit before it will catch. What could be the problem? Clogged cats? Injectors? Dieing motor? The motor is getting flooded a little somehow? Thanks in advance for the help! :) oh, the motor is original with nearly 100k on it. Its been running fine, but I'm going to go in and get a compression check on it sometime soon. |
100k!
It's probably just tired. |
kinda sounds like my engine, though a little more extreme. do you have a boost guage? what kind of vacuum are you pulling? any other idle problems?
|
Sounds like low compression. I think your on the right track...get it checked. The engine has done good to make it to 100k.
|
Yeah, I'm going to have it checked soon. Its actually not my car but one that I am looking to pick up. I just wanted to know what oculd be causing the problem before I invest in it. (Yes, I know it will need a new motor but wanted to know how much life it had left, etc).
We'll see though, right now I think the asking price is a little higher than it is worth. I guess I'll try and negotiate with the owner as soon as the results are back. |
