Hello Everybody,
I've got an annoying intermittent starting issue with my VX S2 V6
It always cranks and Very occasionally starts straight away but 90% of the time it conks out.
When i turn the key to accessories i can hear a purging sound that lasts about 3 seconds. it sounds like it's coming from the engine bay corner closest to the drivers. After allowing it to purge it usually starts. seems to be worse on a hot day. it's like it fires up then doesn't get idle and just drops off.
Recently fixed the TPS Sensor as the car was not starting. Done the IAC in the past. I replaced the fuel filter. cleaned injectors and replaced filters.
Suspect it could be fuel pressure related from either the Fuel Pump pressure failure, Purge solenoid valve, Positive Crankcase Ventilation, ERG Valve etc???
I am about the clean the throttle body as i have done in the past and normal service. is auto.
Thanks for your time and help
Regards,
Admk
