can anyone help,just recently i seem to be getting a rather annoying problem with rs turbo s2,on cold starts she turns over but takes time to fire up,but if i try to start her up from warm she starts on the button,how can i cure this-would this be the cold start valve doing this if so how do i get around this problem until i can source a new valve.
any help would be most grateful

hi mate
could be the cold start valve, i had a mk1 orion with a S2 lump, started perfectly without the valve, if u connected it however, it was flooding the engine. Another problem i had just recently on my mk3 cab (which is really starting to feck me off), was low fuel pressure. The easy way of telling whether the pressure is low, before u start it, whip the air filter off, and push the flap down, of theres fuel pressure it should have a bit of resistance, if not it will go down very easily and spring back up very quickly aswell.
hope this helps?
