Changing the IAT sensor cured MPI running issues I've seen in the passed.
Dazed and Confused.... |

I have found with "odd" problems on MPi s its usually down to bad earths, usually the one below the expansion bottle. |

Shouldn't the pressure be higher: The FPRs on the standard car is 3.0 bar, plus or minus 0.2 bar I clipped that off another site as I dont have access to my documentation right now. and when was the filter last changed? Fuel pressure is 3 bar relative, which is anywhere between 2.3 an 3 bar guage depending on engine load On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

I'd be looking at the coolant temp sensor first and the air temp sensor second. Cold start requires anywhere up to 4 times more fuel at the coldest, with little or no extra fuel when fully warm. Faulty coolant temp sensor will prevent a cold engine starting as the ecu substitutes a fixed value of 60c.

Bottom line here is i dont know, but can only suggest possable causes.

One thing I did come accross in the past with bad starting was a broken wire to the cam sensor caused by a lot of driving with bad engine steady bushes. Remember if you change the ECU you must change the alarm also or reprogram the code. |

An intermitent fault can come and go as you crank the engine due to vibration. The alarm gets its earth from the earth point behind the expansion bottle. |
