ok so i sorted fuel problem

relay kept dropping out............checked the wiring and found a nearly severed wire in the fuse box which feeds pump, soldered in a new wire

car started and ran

and then a new problem reared its ugly head

ok , if its cold it will start and run happily and will run for about 15 to 20 mins....then the thing wont tick over nd dies and will not restart for half an hour....so i thought obviously fine on choke but dont like being hot

so any ways tonight i thought sod it, lets take it out....hoooon the crap out of it and get it hot....ran fine..(ran for about an hour, temp was perfect......then pulled up outside house, it sat ticking over lovely for 5 mins, then idle started going a little low and it stalled.......it would not start again, left it for 5 mins so its still hot, turned it over and it ran for another 20 mins then died

any ideas

??????

couple of things that could help......



have you tried

1. sitting in car stroking the steering and saying you will buy her something nice if she just starts and runs



2. if the above fails try hitting the steering wheel and saying that you gonna cut her uo in little pieces



this has worked for me in the past, you just have to do the old good cop bad cop routine


hope you get sorted dude


someone will know for sure

the sad thing is............yes i tried the above and even washed and waxed it to make it feel the love

check the hoses that are behind the inlet manifold that go onto the auxillary air device. they are plastic pipes with sleeves on where the jubilee clips are.

Nightmare mate just to cheer you up ive had mine eight years and its never broke down once

Im reckoning you ought to sell it and get another

the whole point of buying this car was knowing it had many faults.........once it is up and running correctly, i shall be stripping it and re-painting the shell to bring her back to her former glory



ok the car will now not start hot or semi cold unless you just touch the fuel distributor plate(does start when its stone cold though)..........as soon as you just touch it it fires into life, idles smoothly and runs perfectly, switch it off and it will not fire unless you just lightly touch plate

i have been right over this car for air leaks, sprayed easy start over the inlet system, servo, everywhere in fact just to see if i can find one.....and nothing

somebody has told me that cvh's are supposed to stall when you take the oil cap off.... mine runs a little rougher but does not stall !!!!!! is this right
