    Wink gul cack at starting

    Help! My gul is being a pig to start. I now only use it once a week, but when it comes to starting it, it coughs spits and farts fires on 3 then idles rough as anything. After a minute or so of rough idling it clears. Any idess anybody?

    You could possibly be loosing pressure since removing the injectors as when you re fit them you should smear a little oil on the seals to make sure they are air tight and lubed up, but saying that a quick prime i.e leaving the key on red for a few seconds before starting would resume the pressure.

    Sorry to hear this mate. Left mine in the garage for 3 weeks, jumped in her yesterday and she couldn't wait to start. Sorry, just thought that I'd mention that.

    Ive just had a look through your previous thread it looks like you have changed the pcv if this has happened since you have done that then re trace your steps and look at every thing you have moved

    Hope that the Guls can get together next weekend, starting issue permitting. TC or me can give you a lift if you're not sorted.
