cold start probs
« on: 29 June 2007, 18:47:10 »
Hi, love the warm weather, 2002 omega 2.2 hates it.....
If the outside temp is above approx 12-13 deg` cent` the cold start will be lumpy for about 10-12 secs before alls well. Above 18-20 deg` cent` the engine will stall and require a second go then very lumpy for 10 -20 secs.
During winter the problem went away & warm start has never been a problem.

Any advice will be appreciated. thanks.

Hi. found out today that it was a cracked exhaust manifold.
The crack closed up when the engine got warm and the metal contracted ( closing the crack ) in cold weather.
 But you all knew that......

Common enough, but usually you can hear that fault...
