hi. all

i have just rebilt a rs turbo s2 1989, the problem i am having is,
when i start it when it is cold, it starts like a dream give it 10 mins and it will turn off when it geting warm and the thormostat has not opened. give it 30mins and it will start up like a dream.
the starter is fine. sparks ar fine.
i is like the chok will go on when it is cold but when the choke noks off the engine stops. i have looked all over. plz help me thanks gavin

 

check u have no air leaks, and your co level?. was it running ok beffore rebuild ?

 

prob running out lean as the the cold start injector turns off,just a guess, but sounds like tht

 

its all good now. it was a pipe on top of the rocker cover on the left side where it gose it the fuel meter.

it was run when i had it. there was a nocking nose coming from the engine, it was a the piston. so i done it now. 4 racing pistons and racing bearing regring crank, lightend fly wheel balence with the crank and cluch plate. head skimed and preshed tested new valves.

so i have 2 sort out the back lights and the back wiper motor then ready for the mot.

 

I have a similar problem, just had my metering head off my s1, as the push rod going into the fuel-dist was sticking, free`d it off and cleaned and re-fitted it to the car, started no probs, but when it got warm it cut out, did start again but needed throttle.

After reading this thread, it prob the co-level to low when its hot, but just wondered if anyone else had any ideas?
