Joe M 0 Posted October 15, 2003 I read that due to the design of the 16v inlet manifold with the cold start valve at one end, sometimes when the car is started with the pistons at a certain position it can cause too much petrol being sucked into the combustion chamber at the piston nearest the valve flooding that cylinder. Sounds like this is what your experiencing alex darcy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
