Hi everyone

I've got a problem with my turbo, it's in the garage at the moment but the mechanic can't work out the problem.

Originally my car wouldn't idle, the mechanic thought it was something to do with the fuel system so I have replaced the fuel metering unit. Now it will idle for around 5 mins before cutting out but then won't restart unless you press down on the plunger on the metering unit or wait until the engine gets cold again.

Has anyone got any ideas? I haven't had this problem before, I only use my car in summer, it was fine last year, over the winter I have fitted a Kent Cam and a KN panel filter but I can't see that being the problem......

 

Cold start valve?

 

if it was cold start valve i would say it would be a bugger to run, if your having to push the flap down i would say its to do with fuel pressure dropping off, did u change the pressure regulator when you changed the metering unit?

 

ye i changed the pressure regulator as well

 

and you have no air leaks anywhere? this is exactly why im converting to efi atm, i got pissed off with all the mfi running probs lol
