Intermitant starting problem

Recommended Posts

Need some help guys with my 91 corrado 1.8 16v, have done a quick search but can't find anything relevent.

 

Every now and then my rado takes ages to start, like its not getting fuel or something. It spins over and fires straight away as always then dies straight after. you turn the key again and it turns over nice and fast but keeps going for ages then it eventually coughs into life!

 

seems to happen when its cold but not all the time. the frequency of it happening though is going up!

 

Also, I've started to get a pop on overrun from the exhaust which sounds cool but has got me wondering if this is anything to do with it.

 

Its recently had a few new odds and sods like a brand new dizzy, dizzy cap rotor arm and king lead but thats all thats been changed in the engine. wouldn't be crap in the tank by any chance?

 

Any help would be great.
