Hi All.
Long time lurker, first time poster. I sort of hoped I would never have to post in here. With the wealth of knowledge you would think that most of the ailments that make an Italian car Italian would be covered.
I have a wonderful one for you.. My t-jet most mornings wants to be a little b****....
When i go to crank it over, it wont start on first try, second try and sometimes third try. It only happens when its been sitting for longer than about 10 hours. I can go to work, go to come home and it starts fine, no hesitation. Now I come from sunny Australia so its not a case of things freezing. This happened over summer where it would regularly be 20c at 6am in the morning.
I have done a few things to try and determine what the problem is and to maintain service.. these are
1. Plugs
2. Oil/filter change
3. Radiator flush
4. Air filter
5. Run all codes
6. Checks and cleaned MAP sensors
7. Cleaned injectors
At first I thought it might be leaky injectors that will fill the cylinder overnight but the car should start on 3 over 4 cylinders until it flushes out the fuel.. Maybe even fuel pump..
So then i scanned for codes. Nothing found whatsoever. Not even a lean bank or misfire code.
You guys and gals got any idea?
