swiftkid 1 Posted March 10, 2008 About it starting on 3, does the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition? if it doesnt thats perhaps your problem as my friends car used to do that, turned out to be a broken wire behind the fuse box. not sure what it was but it was a black wire.

Rustynuts 0 Posted March 12, 2008 I would suggest you need to change you leads, you might have one that is breaking down, when it warms up the tolerances reduce meaning that it runs. It is probable that it will get worse with time. While you are at it change the dizzy cap, rotor and spark plugs and that will cover all ignition bases. The idle issue is classic Idle Stabilisation Valve (ISV) problems. They can get clogged up with oil mist, take it off and clean it with carb cleaner, or immerse it in petrol. Stick it back on and see how it is. If this does not fix it may be new ISV time but don't do that until you have the car set up properly first to eliminate potential low idle.
