Car runs fine, bit lumpy when cold, fuel pump does seem noisy.

Prob is run it and try and start it ten minutes later and doesn't want to know (unless jumped and turned over loads) But leave it for a couple of hours and she starts on the button ?

Has had a new battery, and even though when not wanting to start, windows stereo etc all work which suggests not power prob, anyone shed any light ?

 

starter moter doesnt like the heat!! out of curiosity..do u run allot of boost?

 

maybe cracked dizzy,,fractured ht leads expanding with heat,,fuel blockage,,full fuel filter(caked),fooked pump??????

 

is it a series 1 or 2?
if series 1 common problem, change the fuel pressure regulator to the series 2 type!
if its a series2 then where do you start? fuelling, ignition,

 

Its a series 2 running standard boost

Has had New Fuel Filter, will check leads and Dizzy.

Cheers for the replies.

 

Mine did the same and after a wallet full of cash it turned out to be a bad earth, okay when cold but not when hot. Couldnt understand why but cured by new leads from ford.

 

cured by new HT leads ?

 

sound like heat getting to the start motor i would get that looked at first

 

Heat getting to the starter sounds poosible as it tends to do it when car is warm, and wont start for an hour or so, ie cooled down.

Does this mean new starter or some heatwrap/shield somewhere ?

 

Exactly what my S2 was doin, changed the starter and it fine.

Any ideas where i can get a heat sheild from??

 

ebay and plenny of em,,,,check it out.!!

 

n-e fun m8?????

Gonna have a ring round and try and sort a starter motor tomorrow.
