my s2 takes ages to start first thing in morning, turns over for ages then splutters into life with throttle on three cylinders and goes on to four a few seconds later......starts instantly when hot though?

are these symptoms of a goosed cold start valve? and if so does anyone know where i'll get a new one?

Its still running mfi by the way.

cheeRS

 

Just disconnect it and try it then! aint had mine connected for over 4 years!!!

 

my series 2 never started then a mate of mine just u pluged it and it fires first time then when i sold it the lad rang and said ihes havin trouble startin it a it was cos he had pluged it back in

 

When mine failed it was in the "on" position making the car run rich, disconnected it and it starts first time now.

 

i'll try that then lol, i tried it before and didnt make much difference though? it is the blue one under inlet manifold eh?
