As above is it normal for a turbo with 2.1zvh bottom end to turn over twice then start???

Shouldn't but its a ford i suppose....

What exactly does it do, does it stay on the same crank twice then start sequence?

How often does it do it?

when u crank it a takes a while to start. i would say 2-3 seconds. but needs the injectors upgrading could this be the problem??

It is a possibility mate, if you know the injectors need doing then just get them done but if they were the source of this problem you would notice it through the rev range, any hassle with it that way?

The reason i asked is my S1 hated the cold and took a fair bit of crank to get her going sometimes (Scotland cold mind lol)

My other idea was the fuel regulator, when their on the way out they can cause this intermittently before they fail outright.

when you do the injectors, do the leads, plugs etc etc

experience wise thats about the only hassle i can give you a valid comment on though mate.

tbh mate i havent brought it yet went to view it today it running 178bhp with blue injectors so will need changing init.

Ah EFI then, different kettle of fish mate and I've never owned an EFI RST.

Ask the seller if he's prepared to get it looked at and get a diagnosis first, if it needs to be reflected in the sale price then so be it, better safe than sorry fella.

All the best

I thought the limit on RST blues was about 170 odd isn't it? Pushing it quite a bit I would've thought myself

Must be fine then if they've roaded it at that as they would've checked it all being OK. I thought though that at those figures RST blues were at their limits or at least very close.
