well recently my cars not been starting, it generally starts 3rd try or sometimes 5th.
my car has been running rich and overfueling and im guessing the plugs are pretty knackered,
im getting my remap chip fitted this week and new plugs and oil change at the same time, should this fix the starting up problem?

Difficult if not impossible to say. Hope so.

well had new plugs, oil, and remap chip done, doesnt really feel any different, guess time will tell, started up a few times fine, but now its back to normal :( just doesnt wanna start, any ideas

Could be so many problems
Does it try to start? Is it turning over slowly?
Spark on each HT lead?
How's it running when it is started?

Faulty fuel pressure reg? Fuel not immediately available at injectors. Pull an injector and see if fuels there right away when you turn the key.

it wants to start, it just wont fire up. someone said it could be the dizzy and arm, how much am i looking at to get a new one?

wbaxter90

oh and today for the first time, once it started it then cut out on idle 10secs after????

Has the ignition timing been set correctly?

wbaxter90
