aki 0 Posted November 17, 2005 hi ive got an intermittant problem with my vr6 it starts every morning rain or shine cold or warm........................but if i leave it for a few days ie weekend it wont start on monday morning the engine seems to flood with fuel ive taken the fuel pump fuse out before to get it to start and it did eventually then refitted the fuse ond awy we go just wondered if anybody else had this problem or what it might be (my guess is a faulty ecu temp sender causing overfueling when cold) any advice gratefully accepted andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted November 17, 2005 Was the spark plug clean? You should have the 2+2 connectors, and yes, you can read error codes from it, but you'll need a code reader. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aki 0 Posted November 17, 2005 yep plug clean and dry! no oil fouling and i know compression is fine on all 6 although bizarrly the rear bank was 12.5 bar and the front bank were 13 i checked it cos i had to check where the oil was burning to confirm that my stemseals need doing (oh and guides!). :) andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
