Wierd Cold Starting Problems 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave on  Thu Nov 21 12:22 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a 760 turbo wagon.

Starting it in the morning is a strange procedure. She will start the first time - instantly. I have to feather the throttle and I can rev her but after about ten seconds she will die.

She will start straight up the second time but (usually) will again die.

She will start third time and I can usually keep her revving. If I can keep her revviing for about a minute she is fine and will idle on her own all day, but if I let the engine stall, she will not start again.

At this point she will not start. If I continuously crank her for about a minute and then only if I'm skillfull enough, I can catch the spluttering and rev the hell out of her but that is rare.

Any ideas before I tear into her. BTW, I have read the FAQ and many other experiences; I'm hoping someone else has this same problem and has fixed t.

Thanks
Dave.
