Hello all,
I went out to my car early in the morning and had some problems.
I had to turn the engine over for about 6+ seconds with the gas pedal to the floor to get it going and after I rev the crap out of it and remove my foot from the gas pedal the revs drops to zero and the engine cuts out.
I then had to to go through the starting process again (at least 4 more times) including the 6 plus seconds of engine turning over.
I did however get going after I had thrashed the revs and therefore got the engine hot.
My first thought is that maybe the choke wasnt working and therefore after I had got the engine hot it didnt need the choke anymore and that why it stopped cutting out.
Strangly enough the exact same thing had happened to my friends Alfa 156 last friday night and It was ice cold out just like this morning.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
