Hey all,
I’ve got a VS Ute that’s struggling to start when cold. It can take 1-2 minutes of cranking when cold to start. Once it’s been running for a few seconds, if you turn it off and on again it fires up immediately. The engine runs perfectly once it starts.
I’ve replaced the plugs and leads, run injector cleaner through it, and done some long trips with premium 98 in it. Car has done 180,000kms.
Any suggestions what it could be? I’m thinking fuel pump, but not certain. Any tests I can do to check?
Thanks lads
