Stalling just after start up

Stuballsed · Jan 4, 2011

Evenin all,

I have a wee problem, not yet major, just asking if it could lead to something larger

Couple of times now the old girl has stalled (felt like fuel starvation) just after starting up and moving off. Both times was probably moving off a bit quicker after start up than I usually do.

My first guess, and forgive the crap desciption here, is that I'm starting up on fuel in/on/arround the injectors, but since parking overnight its run back down the fule line so if i'm too quick the lift pump hasn't replaced this yet. So, potential problem with blead back or something?

Sounds like bollocks to me, but hey, trying to have a stab at the problem

once you get moving is it lacking any power?

Hi Bayden_uk

No runs fine. Just a couple of early stalls.

It sounds like air in the fuel line to me but I wouldn't feel conformable suggesting a cure because it would just be a stab in the dark.

If it is ari in the line then you could look at the leak off pipes. I had a problem where it wouldn't start on a hill! this was cured with some tightening and new copper washer! See thread below

If it was air in the fuel lines wouldn't it be running badly after startup?

The ijection pump is self bleeding so will tolorate some air without losing power.

it's deffo the leak-off pipes, they loosen, I took to keping a spanner on the dash (can't remember the size but it aint metric) a quick nip-up and alls well.

I guess if it was just one bubble it would die then be fine again but if it was continuos it would be rough.
