MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 7m 19d Posted 10/03/11 08:35 AM Share Posted 10/03/11 08:35 AM hey again everyone, so a while ago I ran a tank of 95ron as I was out in the bush (had the 95 tune in). I am having problems with the car struggling to start when cold. I used to be able to have no throttle and she'd start fine, but after running 95 through it (at least a month ago now) its really hard to start, (have to give it heaps of throttle to start)..... I have reset tune several times to original 98ron tune but doesnt help (obviously using 98 now). once its warm it starts perfectly every time....... im confused... throttle body was cleaned a few months ago so I dont see it being that.... any help would be great!! thanks everyoneps car is bf manual only 47k on clock Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73733-hard-to-start/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Throttle Position Sensor) crank your engine for about 10 seconds with throttle to the floor (car shouldn't start) then just restart as normal without any throttle.its a long shot .. but I thought it might be worth the 10seconds to check.

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 7m 19d Posted 12/03/11 11:50 PM Author Share Posted 12/03/11 11:50 PM Shouldn't be throttle body or filter as I only had tune done a few months ago and all that was cleaned/replaced. Plugs are ngk iridium that were installed at tune as well.... This has only started since I ran a tank of 95 through it. I might check throttle body again but it runs fine once it's going. Are there any sensors that relate to cold starts???? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73733-hard-to-start/#findComment-1088507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic Donating Members 1,725 Member For: 17y 3m 5d Gender: Male Posted 14/03/11 09:48 AM Share Posted 14/03/11 09:48 AM tip it into a clean white bucket if its dirty u will know bout it, they clog pretty easy. if this started happeneing straight after that tank of fuel went through it, I would be lookin in that vicinity. filters are not too $$$ but let us know how ya go Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73733-hard-to-start/#findComment-1088911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
