this is my 1st post so go easy on me lol i have just bought a 2wd saph and beleve it is low comp engine it takes around 10-15 seconds to start warm or cold is this normal or do i need to look into it deeper thanks in advance

 

The compression does not effect the starting?

It's not normal, and won't be low compression, unless its so low across all 4 cylinders, that the engines fucked. But it spuds like once it starts, it's fine?

Possibly look at how the ignition leads are routed, near any sensors like the MAP sensor perhaps?

 

Exactly that, it's going to be something to do with ignition or fuel, in addition are all the plugs etc in good condition?

Hmm engine is good recent rebuild runs fine when going possible need plugs ill get timing light out later check it over thanks for the reply s

 

after a long day tinkering i found 3 broken wires temp sender temp sensor and iscv also iv found the tps to be running 5v at idle and 2.4v wide open when i belive it should be 0v at idle and 4.5v wide open i believe the car is still running the 2wd tps as the ecu/loom are l8/4wd and i think this is causing my problem

 

after a bit more trawling iv confirmed that my tps being red in colour is the pf01 not pf09 i require

 

You can't go by the colour, PF09 came in both, it's written on it what it is, the way you describe it to be operating, I suspect it is in fact a PF09!

Yes, PF09 if you are running L8, you have a 2WD loom, hence that power figure, therefore you need to invert the outer two wires at the TPS.
