G'day guys, been searching the forums for a few days but cant find anything specific to my problem. I'll walk you through what has happened.
Got the car with a 1/4 of a tank in it. Not a single problem with it at all. Apart from the bit where it goes back to idle on sharp right hand turns.
I pulled up to the servo for the first time the other night to put about 10 litres in her. Went to leave. She winds over and over but doesnt fire. Did this for 5-6 times before the engine burst to life. Everything was fine from then on.
Until the next day i put about 30 litres in the tank. And the same problem. Except this time i couldnt get it to start. Sitting there waiting for my friend to pick me up i fiddled with the fuel lines coming out of the tank ... at that time my friend pulled up and turned the key and it started. He said it might have something to do with the ignition. But i feel its related more to the fuel.
I can hear the fuel pump priming. The problem seems to be when putting fuel in. So there must be something internally wrong..?
Since then it seems to be a bit more reluctant to start.
Any ideas?
