weird starting

Post by hatch360 »

Hey my 360 has always been a dodgy starter as it cold idling for the first 20 seconds is the same as if it was warm, but when I started it the other day I started to rev it but it just struggled and wouldnt go past 1000 revs, even with the pedal to the metal!!!!!!

This has happened twice now.

I think it might be the fuel filter as I have not changed that and have noticed could be in my head) that thecar runs better when theres alot in the tank.

Anyways thanks in advance

deffinately worth changing the filter first mate,

if the car has been left standing at anytime sediment can build up in the tank ,

not a problem if you dont let the fuel level drop to low , but if you do the gunk can be drawn up and the fuel filter obviously takes the brunt of it to protect the carb or injection system
