1994 1.8 Intermittent starting problem - robertk
This diesel van occasionally refuses to start, though the plugs have warmed up.
( The glow plug relay failed, and I've connected them up directly from the relay supply via a hand-operated sprung switch).
Usually starts fine, but when it doesn't and you crank it too long it really shakes engine about and just won't fire.
However, on these occasions it will start immediately if you use jump leads, or bump start it, which seems to rule out fuel supply problems. Anyone any ideas?
