starting problems mgf vvc - tom quinn
hi there,

Anyone got any ideas my mgf when you start it sounds very rough then however it does start when you do give it a bit of gas stationary it feels like the whole engine is rocking. I though it might sound like a new car battery because it sounds rough on starting but not sure

Can you guys help

Check the vacuum pipes to inlet manifold first,then air valve joint for leakage at manifold.
If no problem make sure all plugs are firing

my sisters does this, i haven't had a chance to look at it properly as she's always busy but temporarily i told her to put a towel across the tray in the boot when it's damp and this seems to solve it so i suspect it's damp in the ht system. but as said id look at all of the vacuum system and ht system in detail
