Hi All,
I stuck a post up a while ago about high tickover on my HGT, turned out to be a split in the intake pipe behind the MAF so the fueling was all to cock! Fixed that with a new pipe and all was good, for two days
Since then, every morning is a case of starting the car, pull out of the driveway (steep uphill), stall. Restart, stall. Go to restart again and it just turns over whilst attempting (weakly) to fire.
Once it starts it stinks of unburnt fuel for a couple of seconds and then it's fine for the rest of the day. It's worse when it's cold and it won't do it if I leave it running on the drive for a couple of mins before I leave, not wise round here as a chav'll have it away in minutes!
I've checked for leaks in the intake with a can of WD40, cleaned the MAF with carb cleaner which improved things a little. I've also found that a little oil has been pushed through the breather pipe and has contaminated the little pointy sensor just 'downwind' of it, cleaned that (anyone know what it is?) and put it back in - no improvement.
Other than that it runs sweet!
Any ideas guys and girls? - I'm fed up with pulling out of the drive only to block the road for a few minutes - it's quite embarasing!!
Cheers
Lee
