Starting problem.

[VIPERONE]

check your earths and leads are ok...

have you been running the petrol right down? if so you may have some crap in the fuel, I found also that a quick clean of the dizzy cap helps, can get a bit dusty in there.

I do sometimes run the fuel very low, if there is crap what should I do about it??

[LEIGH-ANNE]

dont think there is a lot u can do about that once its been done. I dont let my tank get below about a fiver of petrol. fill the tank upto bout £15 and take it for a good drive, add some fuel additive too. That mite sort a bit of the problem out.

TDC sensor mate! (crank sensor)

replace it from one from GSF.

Might possibly not be, but I've had similar probs and it sorted it! only cheap too!

Cheers for all the help guys, i'll let you know how I get on.

ive read you can tell if the TDC sensor is working properly by turning the ignition on, the rev counter (IIRC) needle should jump slightly

if you have run the tank down low, replace the fuel filter and put some fuel treatment through it

I had a similar problem with a valver I had if it is only when the car is cold you should check cold start sensor it mine went south on me was intermittent though and started fine when warm, its worth a look didnt cost much to fix hope this helps.

I hate intermittent problems, makes it very hard to find out whats at fault, since i made this post the car has been fine I'll have to give give it a good checking over this weekend, thanks for the tips and advice guys.
