Hot start issue

Post by kdyck »

Alright, here she goes.

Picked up the car a few weeks ago and it started up fine. Drove it around a bit, got it up to operating temperature and then shut it off. Went back ten minutes later and it wouldn't start. Checked to see if it was getting fuel and it seemed to be. It had started earlier after being ran, but had only ran for a minute. Once the engine temp came down, it started. Before that it would turn over well, but not start. It would try and catch a couple times as it got close to cooling right off, but wouldn't run until completely "cold". This happened 3 times that day. Ambient temp...13 degrees celsius

Second event, got it back to Sask...(colder minus 20 degrees celsius), got it up to operating temperature, shut it off and was able to start it up again. It ran rough for a couple seconds, but then smartened up.


I have no idea....help.

it may be flooding when you shut off the warm engine. Once you shut it off, remove the air cleaner lid and look into the venturi. If you see fuel trickling in, that's the problem

Hey Mark

Unfortunately, this is a fuel injected model.

could be the same issue, only with an injector leaking after shut-off
