RSK Member 340 Member For: 17y 7m 18d Gender: Male Posted 13/01/10 12:32 PM Share Posted 13/01/10 12:32 PM Hey peopleThe other day during really really hot weather (43+) I stopped my car after a 5 minute drive and went to start it, shot up to 1200rpm, and as it came back down/dropped revs it just died. It did this 5 times, before I finally got it to start by giving it a few seconds of throttle after turning the ignition on. It has done this once or twice before over the last week, but I've always managed to start it second time round. It idles fine, and I've cleaned the throttle body.Any ideas, as I don't want this happening again Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65084-startup-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be evaporating fuel in the fuel lines.Is your fuel pump/system due for a check up?What sort of temperature was registering on the temp gauge?

RSK Member 340 Member For: 17y 7m 18d Gender: Male Posted 13/01/10 01:14 PM Author Share Posted 13/01/10 01:14 PM (edited) I was driving it all day, and it was a hot day 43+, got home at 5pm, car sat for around 4 hours and I started it up 9pm, started ok, drove 5 minutes down the road, turned her off, tried to start it 10 minutes later and just kept dying. I've had a fuel pump installed 2 weeks ago, regapped spark plugs changed 2 weeks ago. This problem has happened occasionally in previous summers, where it almost died/started shuddering, but dieing 5 times is a joke Coolant temp seemed to be around 35-40% Edited 13/01/10 01:16 PM by RSK Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65084-startup-problem/#findComment-970578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
