Bravo SX Starting Issues

[Sean]

Hi All,

After having had a new Bravo Dynamic for 48 hours, went back to drop the car off and pick mine back up. It took a couple of goes to start it then when it did start, it seemed to struggle for aabotu 30 seconds until i revved it a couple of times. Knowing very little I'm guessing it might be some sort of fuelling issue? It only seems to happen when it has been sat for a couple of days. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers,

Sean

It's the 1.2 16v, 8 years old @ 95000 miles. It doesn't misfire, and as I say only seems to happen when the car has been sat for a few days. What do you think is worth trying first?

check all ur sensors...crank shaft sensor, all that lot.

make sure all ur fuses are ok. and also see if there is any dirt in ur coils

try leaving ignition switched on for about 5 secs before cranking, might be losing pressure. give the pump time to get the pressure up
