i have a problem with the cossie that only happens when i try to start it,

When i bought the car it was fine no probs at all, i then had it serviced/oil change etc.
Since the service when i start it, it splutters then dies, if i start it and press the accelator it seems to make it worse and doesnt rev properly initally and dies almost every time, after starting 2-3 times its fine. also since the service upon starting i get a bit of black smoke, i have had the fueling checked and i was told its ok, but again the smoke was only after the service.
I dont want to seem like i am saying anything was wrong with the service, just maybe the service has highlighted a problem.

I have just changed the spark plugs NGK's to Motorcraft, but this made no change, maybe the gap is out?

I had the service a good few months ago, but have not been driving the car, so have left it a while to try to fix the prob as i thought i may as well wait to fix when i take the car off the road.

does anyone have any ideas at all?

 

Hello,

I have had also a starting problem on my 4x4 Cossy.

Sometimes it runs quickly and sometimes 20 - 60 secunds during-startin and dthen it smoked and runed on 2 or 3 Zylinders.

The Water-Temperatur-Sensor (Blue Sensor i remember) was defekt


Than with the new Sensor the problem was past


Greetings

 

cool cheers mate, will check it out,

 

anyone else have any ideas? just checking my manuals to see how to change the blue sensor, as anyone doen this is it easy?

 

Its easy to change yes,i done mine a few months back

 

what kind of oil was used in the service maybe down to a change in oil grade? and check the filters are correct, mistakes can happen at garages,
