[ATTACH=CONFIG]88724[/ATTACH] Not sure if you can blow up this snip, but seems fairly basic, I'm not even getting a crank when the engine is warm and can't see any sort of temp/position sensor in series with the ignition and starter motor, so maybe it is corroded cables or connectors.

Cheers bandit, I'll check that, the car is over 27 years old and I already had to rewire the headlamps because of corroded cable crimps. Problem I'm having is that the engine won't even attempt to crank which I would assume to be more a symptom of a crank sensor, but if the car doesn't have one that can't be it.

I've a different heat related issue with my 1990 16V, but similar symptoms. When the car has been running for a while and the engine is warm, car won't even turn over, let alone attempt to crank. I had to get the head skimmed recently as the engine was getting extremely warm, didn't take long to figure out what the problem was and after this was done took the car for a good long spin that weekend, and after stopping for a few minutes at a shop car started straight away, so assumed problem sorted. Was picking the young lad up from school the other day and was sitting in traffic and could smell the heat from the engine, sure enough, when I went to start the car same problem. After about 15 minutes, car started as if there was never an issue. I've been told by a mechanic friend that there is no crank sensor in these cars, any alternative input would be great.

Meant to get back and add info on this a while ago, they're boge shocks with eibach springs, fully adjustable and I have the adjustment ratchet too.

Don't suppose you have any front and rear suspension parts?

Cheers, I'll check that out over the weekend. There is a little bit of play in the accelerator cable but I didn't attempt do anything about that until I get this other issue sorted. I had put it down to the return spring simply being stretched but I'm hoping it's just a lubrication issue or maybe even a case that the accelerator cable is experiencing friction someway along it's route due to a build up of grime. The car is 25 years young and a previous owner had left it sitting for a while which is leading me along the lines of clean and lubricate. The spring in question is similar to a large clothes peg spring so I imagine a suitable replacement can be found if it's not an off the shelf item. I'll have a good look at it over the weekend and if I get a satisfactory fix I'll throw a few pics up on the thread.

Anyone come across issues with this? Basically what I'm seeing is, on the cold morning when I first head down the road, the throttle is not releasing, or is slow to release which results in over revving of the engine. After a short while driving this issue goes away, obviously when the engine heats up a bit and the grease around the spring is a bit warmer. My question is, if anyone can help me, can these springs be got or would taking the existing throttle assembly apart and just cleaning and re-greasing it sort the problem. If the springs can be got, does anyone know of a supplier? Cheers from a Corrado owner constantly in high revs.
