Warm start problem

Post by daddyjim »

Hi all,

My van starts fine in the cold or when it's not run for a few hours, but when it has been warned up it takes about 5 attempts to get her going. Could any shed some light on why please.

Many thanks

James

What engine do you have?

And what is your engine start procedure when it's warm (i.e. what do you do re pressing accelerator etc)
