Hi all , I posted on here a few weeks ago about cold starting problems on my 97 GT
Still having trouble but there seems to be more of a pattern to it now so just wondering if anyone has any ideas what it could be
So on cold starts it will crank and almost catches but doesn’t start, it just kind of splutters a little bit, if I press the throttle it will then fire up but soon as I let off the throttle it doesn’t want to idle and it shuts off , it will do this for about 10 seconds then it will be fine, all runs ok when driving.
The strange thing is the air bag light will come on everytime it starts poor , if I shut the car off and start it again the air bag light will go out
Hot starts are fine
Cranking speed is normal so don’t think it’s battery related
I’ve changed the plugs, not done the filter yet , will do that next
Don’t think it’s the fuel pump because if it was surely it will start bad even on hot starts ?
The air bag light confuses me though ,
It’s definitely related because the light coming on coincides with the poor starting
Car is fairly stock apart from Flowmaster exhausts
Any ideas ?
Thanks for any help
