Banks88 10 Posted October 1, 2013 Hi Guys. Been a while since ive been on here! Basically ive recently took off the inlet manifold and rocker to be powder coated (Looks awsome)Ive put it all back together and made sure every pipe/sensor/clip was back on. throttle body and air intake plate has been carb cleaneed and new paper gasket back on the throttle body. Its started up first time then stalled, then started it again and ran fine! drove around for a few days with no issues. came to start it Friday night and wouldnt start. it fired for about 2 seconds then died, then tried starting it again and all it did was turn over but it felt like to wanted to fire!! changed over the HT leads yesterday still same problem, but we eventaully got it going on a really poor idle then as the engine got warmer it was fine! took it for a spin and ran really well! took each HT lead out one by one as it was running and no problems with misfiring. turned the engine off whilst up to temperture and turned it back on.... no problems at all started fine first time. came to it this morning... fired up for a about a second then died, tried starting again and just turned over. any ideas??? do you think it mabe a coolant temp switch or the warm up sensor on the 5th injector? only seems to do this when its cold and idles and fires up fine when warm. Much appricated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt@OCD 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Could be 5th injector if you've made a loose contact etc I'd just check over the idle screw too, make sure you've not adjusted this at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banks88 10 Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks for that, dumb question but how do I find the idle screw on the throttle body? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt@OCD 0 Posted October 1, 2013 It's a tiny brass screw in the throttle body, pretty sure it's on the front of 16v's http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?rlz=1C1CHFX_en-GBGB533GB533&es_sm=122&biw=1024&bih=653&tbm=isch&tbnid=c97XIFI06XQevM:&imgrefurl=http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D174696&docid=RaiIU0zKwlJCYM&imgurl=http://vwtech.no-ip.info/images/golf/16vidlescrew.jpg&w=440&h=330&ei=n5dKUsTuIMup0AWQ34DwBA&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:19,s:0,i:137&iact=rc&page=2&tbnh=174&tbnw=225&start=13&ndsp=18&tx=111&ty=74 That's best I found on google :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
