Also.. in this thread... https://passionford.com/forum/general-car-related-discussion/144435-using-easy-start-to-start-an-rs-turbo.html they talk about a black relay on the fuse box...
"vroooom_ptssssh" Said... "Mine was the same, wouldnt start from cold without metering flap! but I found somehow i'd blown a fuse within a relay under the dash, Think it's located next to the fuel pump relay. . its something to do with the fuel ECU not fueling on cold start or on boost. "
.. Theres a black relay in my fuse box that looks a bit burned, also the pink fuel relay looks a bit burned inside.. i have cleaned them up, and resoildered them.. because it was sunday, and couldnt get replacement ones, but i dont know if they would affect anything becasue i can hear the fuel pump prime when i turn the key.. i dont know, just thought i would mention it to help build a better picture.. thanks again by the way..
