I did an oil change on it today and as suggested on one of the threads on here when finished I tried to circulate the oil before starting it by putting foot flat on accelerator to stop it starting while cranking it over. To my surprise the car started instantly and revved to about 3000rpm before I got my foot off it. I thought it was not supposed to start with WOT. Is there a problem I should be checking out. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about all I've got.PS yeah they just crank over when foot is flat and you turn the key. Edited 13/10/12 06:43 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
