Title: warm start problem
Post by: bellers on 27 June 2009, 20:34:50

mates 2.5td bmw engine has developed a warm starting problem.

starts dead on when cold. will start after a bit of driving if it hasnt warmed up that much. but once it heats up and sits bout 90ish on the gauge it will hardly start at all. i done the paper clip test and theres no codes showing up. it does fell a bit sluggish when driving to

Common issue with that bosch pump.

I think there are aftermarket mods to overcome it, also apparently chipping cures it

definatly an excuse to get it chipped then lol had it out there the night again and i took it down the road for a good thrash and got it up to heat. when i started it, it just about started and sat with a low idle and wouldnt let me rev it the after a few seconds the idle returned to normal i could rev away

anyone know why it would sit with a low idle when started and not rev for a few seconds?

he says sometimes it would just about start and do that and sometimes it wouldnt hardly start at all
