- What exactly is it that your car does?
here goes the sound effect version...
motor catches and then sounds something like "buda buda buda buda buda
brrrrrrr"<----that's the normal idle sound btw.
Technical description...
Sounds like it runs on 3 cylinders for 2-8 sec after start up "sometimes".
I have yet to figure out what the common element is in the "sometimes". It
apparently isn't time between starts or air temp or engine temp or parking
angle. I'm confused. When i first started trying to figure this out i
thought it was low fuel pressure at startup. I've replaced both fuel pumps
and the accumulator, no change. I've changed...i think all of the sensors,
nada. The last two things on my list were the injectors and the fuel
distributor but both of are expensive enough to no do them for the heck of
it. Other then this occasional starting problem the car runs just fine.
Well there is the bog at ~3k but i see that on everyone's dyno chart so i
can only assume that it is "normal". Considering that this is only a
starting problem that happens for a couple seconds intermittently, i've not
wasted any more money or time on it. I just sit here and wait for either it
to officially break or for someone else to figure out what is causing it and
tell me how to fix it.
I know i'm of no help.
